Watching Dan Rather via RocketBoom

This evening, I was going about my normal internet reading and viewing and found an entry on RocketBoom that features Dan Rather commenting on The News. Over the past couple of years, I've been paying some attention to the impact of internet delivery so this piqued my interest.

As newspapers, television, and all other sorts of people try to provide us with additional content, we need to understand what we're getting. We may be able to find deeper details than can be economically justifiable to those who deliver content in print or over the air. We may find additional, high quality sources of information by people upholding the ideals of trained journalists. We also run the risk of getting equally well crafted misinformation. While there certainly have been some spectacular stories where our professional journalists have doled out some bad information, I personally believe that they continue to strive to provide a high quality, fair and factual account about what's going on in our world and continue to turn to them. That said, I also like to see what others have to say but take that with a grain of salt.

You can check out Dan's comments at the RocketBoom site. Do be aware that he let slip a slightly colorful barnyard reference.
