The BDS afflicted former CBS News anchor Dan "Fake but accurate" Rather offered his opinion on Katie Couric and her Evening News as "dumbing down the news with and by NewsTarts", as he refers to Katie and her peers in the News business.This from a guy who hated the president so much that he takes a beaten to death rumor filled story and tried to give it new life with fake but accurate documents as he called them so famously to effect the 2004 general election.
Noe, I'm no Katie Couric lover, however, broken down Dan is about the last person in the world to speak to the dumbing down of the news. Liberals like him are solely responsible for the lowering of the news bar to let's limbo levels, not Katie Couric because she has no measurable influence as he once did.
What an A**.

Rather Attacks Couric: 'Dumb It Down, Tart It Up
NewsBusters.org: "As already noted on NewsBusters, former CBS anchor Dan Rather appeared on Monday’s edition of 'Morning Joe' and lobbied for a 'a strategic withdrawal from Iraq.' He also found time to twice bash his 'Evening News'"
He also found time to twice bash his "Evening News" successor Katie Couric for dumbing down and "tarting up" the news. After giving the standard caveat that Couric is a "nice person," he went in for kill. Speculating on the program’s declining ratings, Rather complained to MSNBC host Joe Scarborough that "the mistake was to try to bring the ‘Today’ ethos to the evening news and to dumb it down, tart it up in hopes of attracting a younger audience." more at newsbusters
