Dan Rather vs. CBS
When CBS replaced the
edgy Rather with the sugary Katie Couric as anchor of the "Evening News," it
imagined it had solved its problem, its "errors." The news would get softer, the
Republicans in control of the White House and Congress would be nicer, Viacom
would grab more media, and ratings would climb. Thus, dismissing Rather would
yield untold dividends. Unfortunately for CBS's visionaries, none of that has
worked out as planned. Couric simply lacks basic journalistic instincts and
skills, and the "CBS Evening News" is at rock bottom in ratings and sinking
farther.
Rather could have simply allowed the statute of limitations to run out, lived
off his millions, and faded away. But the incident ate at him. On one level, the
Bush National Guard story is about Bush and the National Guard. On another, of
course, it is about Rather's reputation. But on yet another
it is about CBS's overwhelming desire to please the Bush White House and censor
itself.
Katie Couric vs. Dan Rather
"There were things in
there that were quite egregious in terms of how it was reported," Couric said of
the report.
"And sloppy work is sloppy work."
"I don't believe Ms. Couric knows all the facts," Rather told The Post
yesterday.
"When they
come out, she may well change her mind."

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas Wrote A Book!
Most
Washington parties can be crashed with simple name-dropping or the flash of a
powerful business card. Next week’s book party for Supreme Court Justice
Clarence Thomas, however, is off-limits to intruders.
“If you don’t have an invite, don’t come,” said Armstrong Williams, who will
host the party at his Northeast D.C. home.
“And don’t bring guests who aren’t on the list.”

These artist renderings provided by the U.S. Mint shows four of the designs under consideration to replace the 'tails' side of the Abraham Lincoln penny. During the 2009 observance of the 200th anniversary of Lincoln's birth and 100th anniversary of the introduction of the Lincoln penny. To commemorate the event, the U.S. Mint, at the direction of Congress, will introduce four rotating designs on the one-cent coin for that year depicting different aspects of Lincoln's life. The designs will replace the engraving of the Lincoln Memorial on the 'tails' side of the coin. The famous profile of Lincoln will remain on the 'heads' side of the coin. Photo/US Mint
