I will again restate that after 24 years both sides of the coin were represented. Rather was/is fair almost always. He was obviously supportive of the invasion of Iraq, which was anything but a liberal cause. It's not about a scorecard especially since no one is keeping score of the times that he's defending the opposite points of view than he is accused of being.

O'Reilly leans to the left?
Surely you jest? I have never heard of anyone, anywhere ever state that O'Reilly leans to the left! I'm talking about Bill O'Reilly, not Radar O'Reilly! I defy anyone to prove that Bill O'Reilly leans to the left!

Rather WAS a reporter of the news. I sincerely believe only someone with a chip on their shoulder against Dan Rather would suggest that he wasn't a reporter as you just suggested. As for the FAB FOUR right wing "SQUAWKERS" that I cited you missed my point. I wrote what would it be like if they were network anchors? People cite the FAB FOUR when they quote the news, they deliver the news in a different format than the traditional evening news, but ask them if they are commentators or newsmen and what will they say?
