Dan Rather was removed because he started fabricating his own news.
Mathews & Olberman were just removed for "really ****ty raitings", translation:
No one with any intelligence was tuning in to listen to their left wing bull****.

Current Mood: | Re: FOX News haven for conspiracy theory nuts? Ed Rendell has spoken rather favorably of Fox News's coverage of the campaign in terms of balance of reporting. Is he in on the right wing conspiracy?
Particularly given the meltdown over at MSNBC, I find this constant haranguing about Fox News entirely, utterly, and completely laughable. HIGH-larious.

Secondly, he got fired because of it. Who's fired at faux for their constant "accidents", Hannity seems to get a raise each time of his "blirps". Quote: |

Current Mood: | Re: FOX News haven for conspiracy theory nuts? Rather was the anchor of the flagship news show for CBS news, presenting a straight news story.
Hannity (though I can't stand the @ss) hosts an opinion show. |

Speeches that aired in the "Hannity & Colmes" hour were "pitched" back to Hume for the actual commentary as each evening's key-note speakers entered for both conventions.

Secondly, he got fired because of it. | Fabricate, forgery, what's the difference when you're lying and you get fired over it. numerous critics questioned the authenticity of the documents upon which the report was based and the documents were quickly proved to be forgeries Dan Rather - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Quote:

Sadly the same can not be said for faux. | Sadly parent NBC just had to scold it's oh so professional and unbiased employees Oblerman and Matthews. As well as take away their hosting gigs for the remainder of the election coverage, because they could not keep their personal bias from spilling into their on air comments amid all the highly respectable bickering amongst each other. Number of news anchors from supposedly “unbiased & professional” news organizations, who have been relieved due to “bias” affecting their coverage? 3 Number of news anchors from Fox News who have been relieved due to “bias” affecting their coverage? 0 Quote:

While claiming it is “faux news” that does this. Oh yes, speaking of notable factors……..it is intelligence not “intelligenge”.
