No matter what the cost... Bush slandered.

The folks at the Democratic Underground love a good story, er, a good slander I should say. When it's coupled with forged documents they literally squeel with delight and salute the perpetrator.

Dear Mr. Rather,

What you have done is not only brave but patriotic. It's time the media in this country stopped acting as a propaganda arm of the
cabal in the White House and started telling
truth and facts to the American people.

These facts about AWOL should have come out
strongly while he was running before the election of 2000 instead of the media acting as cheerleaders for him and for the phony Iraq "imminent danger" war . It should be made clear that the Iraq war declared by this administration had nothing to do with the attack on the WTC.

Because of the propaganda of the WH which the media repeated, 60% of the American people who only get their news from tv, believe
Iraq was responsible for the attack on the WTC.

Please continue to do real and honest reporting.
You seem to be the only one.

Thank you again for your heroic bravery.

Apparently, Dan appreciates their ultra-left support because he responds to the above email. Or Ms. Pallas purports that he did anyway.

Dear Ms. Pallas,
Thank you for taking the time to write. Your support is appreciated. As you can imagine, we've been inundated with negative emails. It's refreshing to hear from a viewer such as yourself. We strive for the highest level of journalistic integrity and will continue to do so, no matter what the cost. A free society demands free, unmuzzled media expression.
