Dan Rather: "How bad is it going in Iraq???"
Those were his first words in tonight's CBS Evening News report about Iraq. Hmmmm. Note the phrasing. Yea Dan.

1. I noted that as well...
CBS national news is now the only news show I watch.

2. I only watch CBS and The NewsHour
The NewsHour showed an Iraqi father holding up his dead baby from the most recent assault to destroy "terrorists" and "free" the people.

9. hey now
the way we're making enemies, the odds are good that kid was going to hate us sooner or later, we're just cutting out the development time!

this message brought to you by Freepers for the Truth About Dead Iraqi Babies.

I can't even watch the news anymore, heartbreaking to see what is being done in our names. Anyone seen theBattle of Algiers lately?

7. A great tradition...
Walter Cronkite, another CBS Journalist, helped open the eyes of the "average" American to what the Viet Nam war really was and the toll it was taking, resulting in a turn in public support against the war. Dan Rather is on the same path of honesty and I hope he helps this generation of Americans see the truth of Iraq. Well done CBS!
