Mr. Rather, I have been thinking of you and other reporters I grew up with. I feel so fortunate to have had you and others sharing real news and facts with the public. You are trusted and appreciated. Now it’s hard to trust any of the media.
How do you propose we take back the first amendment and the power of the press?
Dan Dan Dan…are you serious??? You’re old enough to know better! I’ve said over and over that it’s all about the money. If you have fuck you money everybody like the mob boss bows to you hoping to be a part of the billionaires world and if they go against it they’re destroyed! All the GUTLESS COWARDS at the White House could do something and I hate to say it but that’s our only hope!!?? You saw what happened when we tried…the mob boss sent out his henchmen and murdered us and is still harassing and threatening us…you think I’m wrong? Has anyone been prosecuted in the murder of our citizens???
I watched CBS Sunday morning. It’s like a Trump advertisement, the interview with White was a clear ad for trump the GOP and paramount. It was sickening.
It is a bit of a cunnundrum. Long ago, the minds of the American people had begun to be stolen from them with the drugs filtering in from our Southern borders. I saw it in the schools. In that way, he wants to illiminate ignorance.
The strongest part of this piece is not the defense of CBS. It is the admission about incentives.
When news organizations are owned by conglomerates whose profits depend on regulatory approval, mergers, and political goodwill, their editorial independence is structurally compromised long before any president applies open pressure.
That is not a Trump problem. It is a business model problem.
A press that must constantly manage corporate risk cannot reliably function as a public watchdog, no matter how sincere individual journalists may be.
That is why independent media matters, not because legacy outlets are always lying, but because their institutional constraints quietly shape what they can afford to publish.

Keep up your excellent reporting as we need the truth about how America is being turned into a dictatorship.

Where’s Walter Cronkite…we really need need him until we get honest no spin reporting!
Where would America and the world be without good honest journalism, I shudder to imagine. Thanks Dan and all journalists who work to inform us all!!!

Nice try Dan. I’m out
Done with CBS.
All of the great past CBS reporters must be rolling in their graves over what CBS has now become.
Thank you for your reporting and insight. Things can become so distorted and confusing, But you are always able to put it all back into perspective.
Bari Weiss and Peter Attia have left a nasty stain on this brand
