Dan Rather

Ok so I have to find the connection between this dude and blogs.

I think I’ve got it; Dan Rather was a CBS anchorman from 1981 to 2005.

He did a rather controversial piece on George Bush’s military service in 2004. Rather claimed Bush had failed to fly in the Texas Air National Guard as he refused to obey orders. This was apparently documented in files held by Col. Jerry B Killan.

Bloggers found Rather biased and unfair, in an online forum 'freerepublic.com' bloggers discussed the authenticity of the documents found. This evolved into a full investigation into the documents, which were indeed found to be false by the bloggers.

This lost Rather his job and credibility. Silly boy.
