Old order of US media is cast adrift by anchor's loss
By Gerard Baker - March 5th, 2005 - The Sunday Times (U.K.)

[Dan Rather]is likely to be remembered by half the nation as a despised icon of the left-wing elites that dominate the US media. That critique was underscored in September last year, two months before the US presidential election, when Rather presented a news report purporting to have uncovered damaging information about President Bush’s Vietnam-era service in the National Guard. It quickly became clear that the item was based on forged documents.

On Wednesday, Dan Rather "retires". Goodbye Dan! Your lies will not be missed.
