Ohh! I forgot... Jackson offered the girl, that falsely accused the Duke players a full ride to a University on him..... Do you think he will pay up now? Or even comment on his own words?

It is embarrssing to see what the media has allowed to happen to the I-man! Where is Rev. Jackson's and Bottom Feeder Sharpton's apology to the Duke Lacrosse players being wrongfully accused. They were on the first horse down to NC prosecuting those students on here say. Screaming NAACP!!!

What he said was not right, and it was not warranted, but he has been saying things to shock you forever. This is not the worst thing he has said on the air! The fact is that the media hung him out to dry and there are bigger forces pushing that wave. Imus has been publicly bashing the Bush administration on many different topics. One being the military hospitals! He brought that story to full media coverage. He is consistently questioning all that the Bush Admin. has been up to, during this pathetic Presidency.

He should not have said it and that was his mistake. The powers that be have been waiting for him to screw up. Once they saw the opportunity they came pouncing. Martin Luther King spoke for 10 minutes, and we had to listen to this Rutgers Women's Basketball coach ramble for an hour. This is not about the team. This is not about what he said. This is about the WANT to control our media and control what we are exposed to. The writing is on the wall.... Big brother is watching people!

I have just watched a very pleasant lady make a plea for those who seve us in shops, gas stations, etc.

I wholeheartedly support her suggestion that we treat those in the sevice industry with respect - I do! Yet, they can be extremely rude to me. I think there should be a plea from customers such as me, to expect a welcome, a genuine desire to serve and, a heartfelt 'have a nice' day. It could make a world of difference to those of us who have respect for another human being.

Did not get the address where I can enter the sign-off for Katie Couric.
Is it too late?

Thank you for watching the Evening News. It's your world.
 COURICNITE.

Thanks to Andy Rooney for the timely reminder about the "military/industrial complex" What great things this country could achieve if we spent some of those vast sums we waste on the military on health care, housing for the poor and education. Will we ever learn? I know that at times you feel like a voice in the wilderness,but please keep on screaming.

The Contra Costa Times, a California newspaper has stepped into the CBS silliness, asking readers to send in their opinions on selection of Katie Couric to be the next CBS News anchor.

Basically, the readers pounded the newspaper for such glib stupidity, one letter writer called the Contra Costa times "anal"!

Intellectual insult

What do we think of Katie Couric being named anchor of CBS news? What kind of topic is this? An illustrious award-winning paper and you throw out this deep, profound question for the readers in Contra Costa County?

Who really cares about Katie Couric's employer? Of all the issues that could be discussed, you think Katie Couric's change of employers warrants serious discussion? You give a new meaning of the word "anal."

Thanks for the intellectual insult.

Unworthy topic

Isn't it a sad commentary on our culture when despite an ongoing global war, worldwide natural catastrophes, illegal immigration facing many of the world's economically advantaged countries and the apparent crumbling of California's freeways (and Legislature) we choose to devote space to debate Katie Couric's CBS appointment?

As an avid reader of the Times editorial page, might we please find a more relevant topic?

Who watches?

Who cares? Who with half a brain watches network "news?" CBS is finally admitting it views news as entertainment.

You have 52 Forum topics a year, and you just wasted one when you could have asked something like, "What do you think of Bush's plans to bomb Iran?"

Historic event

In her new position, Katie Couric will be the first solo female anchor for a major network's nightly news. This is historic.

We are quick to take television to task for its portrayal of women as vapid or valuable only for their beauty. Couric will provide a role model of a strong, intelligent, relevant woman on television night after night. And that is certainly worth taking notice.

Patti Link Cawood

Not important

You want to know what I think of Katie Couric being named anchor of CBS news.

Why do I have to think about Katie Couric or about her anchoring the news? Is she going to recite different news than other news anchors or broadcast channels?

Is there an importance to her doing this job that means something to me or anyone else other than CBS news?

Couric and the hype around her new overpaid job is irrelevant in the scheme of life.

Luminescent talent

If I weren't so happily married, I would be dreaming of Katie Couric, a bright, luminescent talent and absolute sweetheart. Anchoring, though? A fish of another stripe. Granted, I'm just your average working stiff, not making the megabucks of TVmoguls who divine ratings. Nevertheless, after a hard day's night, I favor gravitas over effervescence in my main course TV news, though Keith Oberman makes for great news dessert.

I disdain stodginess and waxing unduly romantic about everything past. I decidedly want women to break the Big-Three anchor barrier and genuinely admire charismatic, plucky Couric for her genius at info-entertainment, but in a troubled world I feel more reassurance from the hallowed likes of Edward Murrow, Chet Huntley, David Brinkley and Walter Cronkite.

Yet, even the likes of Presidents, Harry Truman for one, have surprised us and themselves by facing extraordinary challenges and rising to extraordinary heights. Break a leg at CBS, Katie.

I'm rooting you grow into the role and conquer your new mountain. I may yet stop pining for the days of "good night and good luck" and "that's the way it is."

Nothing against perky

"What do I think of Katie Couric being named CBS anchor?"

1. This can't be a serious topic for opinion and discussion.

2. If it is, in which case Les Moonves has scored a positive coup for the network and people are thirsty for impartial, fact-driven, keenly analytical reportage.

3. And it doesn't matter which as long as the ratings improve.

4. Please do not infer from this that I have anything against "perk."

CBS made mistake

As a CBS evening news viewer for many years, I think the people at CBS have lost their minds over hiring Katie Couric; she is no Barbara Walters. I watch the news to keep up on important events, not to watch some bubblehead.

I almost quit watching CBS when they let Dan Rather go. I was shocked when John Roberts wasn't hired to replace Rather.

When Bob Schieffer took over, until a permanent replacement was hired, I thought John Roberts would then be taking over, since he was rightfully the one who should. I couldn't believe it when I heard Couric would be hired. That was the last straw.

I think Schieffer is a good reporter, but when he goes, I'm gone. My family will be watching NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams.

CBS lost a wonderful news person in John Roberts. I hope he does well at CNN, where he is now.

DISBARRED ATTORNEY GAVE CUOMO 20G
New York Post; New York; May 8, 2002; ROBERT HARDT Jr.;
Abstract:
John Burgess, who also pleaded guilty to attempted grand larceny and patronizing a 16-year-old
prostitute while practicing law near Buffalo, said he made the donations after meeting Cuomo at a
party in Chicago last year.
IPA is facing two suits brought last year by the Equal Opportunity Employment Commission
alleging that IPA engaged in a "pattern . . . of unlawful employment practices" by subjecting
female workers to "sexual and sex-based harassment."
A disbarred lawyer whose Illinois company is facing three sexual- harassment lawsuits donated $20,000
to Andrew Cuomo's gubernatorial campaign in January, The Post has learned.
John Burgess, who also pleaded guilty to attempted grand larceny and patronizing a 16-year-old
prostitute while practicing law near Buffalo, said he made the donations after meeting Cuomo at a party
in Chicago last year.
"I always considered Mario Cuomo an impeccable politician, and I believe now that Andrew will make
a fine candidate," said Burgess, the founder of International Profit Associates, a large consulting
company in Buffalo Grove, Ill.
Burgess, a 52-year-old former commodities trader, was convicted of attempted grand larceny and
disbarred in New York in 1987.
Before his disbarment, he had been disciplined by the Bar for pleading guilty to patronizing a teen
prostitute in 1984.
After being informed of Burgess' checkered past, Cuomo aides late yesterday said they would be
refunding his donation.
IPA is facing two suits brought last year by the Equal Opportunity Employment Commission alleging
that IPA engaged in a "pattern . . . of unlawful employment practices" by subjecting female workers to
"sexual and sex-based harassment."
A third lawsuit was filed against IPA last month by a former worker who claims she was told that she
wouldn't get a promotion unless she had sex with a supervisor.

Harassment Not First Charges Against Suburban Businessman
Company President Once Charged With Using 16-Year-Old Prostitute

UPDATED: 1:54 pm CST January 16, 2004

CHICAGO -- In a follow-up to a previous report about sexual harassment charges against a suburban company, NBC5 reported information Thursday about the head of the company, his past and his connection to famous faces.

International Profit Associates is a Buffalo Grove-based management consulting company with 1,700 employees and nearly $200 million in revenue.

It is currently facing allegations of sexual harassment, as outlined in a court case filed by the Equal Opportunity Employment Commission.

Allegations date back several years and start right with the company president, John Burgess (pictured, left).

One of 100 women involved in the sexual harassment case against the company spoke recently with NBC5's Marion Brooks about Burgess' role in the allegations.

"The president of the company wanted me to be mentored by one of the top sellers, and in exchange for that, I was told -- in so many words -- that I should have sex with him," the woman referred to as Jane said, indicating that Burgess suggested she sleep with the mentor.

In the lawsuit, a woman identified as Ms. B claims that Burgess offered her $1,000 to have sex with him. The lawsuit further states that he told "Ms. 123" that her future with the company depended on her being a tream player with him, meaning that her future depended on having sex with Burgess.

"One thing that sets apart this case is that the harassment did start from the very top," said EEOC attorney Diane Smason (pictured, left). "When you have the owner and the top level managers of the company setting that standard for the rest of the company, that becomes the standard operating procedure of the company."

Brooks found that Burgess, the co-founder and managing director of the company, is a man with a colorful past.

In addition to the current charges, he was also charged with patronizing a prostitute in 1984. The prostitute was allegedly 16-years-old. A spokesman for Burgess pointed out to NBC5 that that was 20 years ago.

In 1988, Burgess was convicted of attempted grand larceny. He was disbarred as a New York attorney in 1987, and a domestic order of protection was granted against him in Lake County in 1992. The spokesman said that order was withdrawn.

The company's Web site features pictures of Burgess with several former American presidents including Gerald Ford, Bill Clinton and George H. Bush from various IPA functions, praising the company's success.

As for the lawsuit, IPA said in a statement, "The company has continually and consistently denied the allegations."

But the EEOC says the class members in this suit say more than 60 men were involved in this harassment and that the environment had a profound effect on them.

"I just literally felt -- became so isolated and felt so -- because it wasn't just one person that was making life difficult. It was several people," Jane said.

The spokesman for IPA pointed out Burgess was a finalist for "Entrepreneur of the Year" in 1995 by a collective of magazines.

Last year, Crane's Chicago Business listed IPA as the eighth largest management consulting companies in Illinois.

The EEOC is requesting that the case go to trial.

Robert,

Can you back that up with a source?

DISBARRED ATTORNEY / CONVICTED FELON … receives "Ronald Reagan Republican Gold Medal" -reality check?

The National Republican Congressional Committee has just awarded convicted felon, disbarred attorney, John r. Burgess, buffalo grove , Illinois, the 2004 "Ronald Reagan Republican Gold Medal".

Burgess’s background. includes convictions of fraud, attempted larceny and soliciting under age prostitutes. additionally, the state of New York found burgess guilty of misconduct, immediately threatening the public interest and, the Supreme Court has disbarred Burgess from practicing law.

Burgess’s company, International Profit Associates, Buffalo Grove, ILlinois has been charged in the largest ever EEOC sexual harassment lawsuit, and is presently under investigation by the Atty. Generals of several states.

Burgess is presently employing the NRCC award in an extensive PR campaign to entice new business to his company.

Doesn’t anyone do their homework??

Is it true that Dan Rather will be working for the National Enquirer?

Good riddance

This Houston traffic problem is another reason for the morons to hate George W. Bush, especially down in Texas. It has to be Bush's fault, because after all, he used to be governor of Texas, he caused this. Just wait, they'll prove it over here on this "I Hate George Bush" forum.

Ed, if the Mossad drives Syria out of Lebanan, can that be so bad? Sure seems like a deadly, tragic even sleazy and criminally wicked way to do it.

Hey Don Dean, If you can't pay with cash, check, credit card or charge card, your car gets impounded? That 6 minutes seems awfully quick, maybe the tow truck is ordered after 6 minutes.

The assasination of the former prime minster of Lebanon Rafiq Al- Hariri is an American Israely conspiracy excuted by the Israely Mosad to drive Syria out of Lebanon.

You think in a city that has Mission Control that we could have better ways to
clear our freeways. The Honorable Mayor White of Houston has enacted a law on
the Houston freeways if you breakdown or have a flat you will be towed in 6
minutes at a fee of $75.00. If you don't have the cash, check, or charge card,
the car is impounded! Yes indeed , "Houston we do have a

This will really get the Tourism for Houston a lot of good!

A RATHER UGLY EXIT

Wed Nov 24, 2:27 AM ET

Dan Rather announced yesterday that he will retire in March as anchor of the CBS Evening News — though he'll hang on as a correspondent for both editions of "60 Minutes."

"I have always been and remain a 'hard-news' investigative reporter at heart," Rather said in a statement. "I now look forward to pouring my heart into that kind of reporting full time."

Well, as Rather said on Election Night, albeit in a slightly different context: "Ladies and gentleman, if you believe that, you'll believe rocks can grow."

Believe the bit about "the hard-news investigative reporter" bit, we mean.

After all, Rather's announcement comes as the world awaits the results of a CBS-ordered "independent" assessment of the coldly calculated election-year hit that Rather & Co. attempted on President Bush earlier this year.

In a September "60 Minutes II" broadcast, Rather declared that documents — supposedly belonging to Bush's Vietnam-era squadron commander — showed that young Bush had defied his National Guard superiors' orders to report for a medical exam.

The documents were almost immediately exposed as frauds — first by Internet amateurs and then by several establishment news organizations.

Indeed, they weren't even clever fakes.

But Rather simply refused to let go.

In the face of compelling evidence that documents had been forged by a long-time Bush foe, Rather insisted instead that he was being targeted by enemies with political motives.

The anchor postured and preened and hemmed and hawed before admitting, not that the documents were fake, but that he had made "a mistake in judgment."

That's one way to put it.

Andy Rooney, Rather's curmudgeonly "60 Minutes" colleague, had a different take last week — more blunt, and far more accurate: "I am very critical of some of the people at CBS who make it apparent what their political leanings are," he said. "That's what happened to this thing of Dan Rather's that got out. There's no question they wanted to run [the story] because it was negative towards Bush."

Rooney clocked it: Rather has it in for the Bush administration.

To cite just one of many examples, as war clouds gathered over Iraq in February 2003, Rather proudly aired an exclusive interview with Saddam Hussein — set up by lunatic-fringer Ramsey Clark and filmed by Saddam aides.

But he refused a White House offer of Condoleezza Rice to appear to rebut Saddam's comments.

Rather biased?

We'd say so.

So, how does CBS plan to regain the trust of its justifiably jaundiced viewers?

Retired Associated Press exec Louis D. Boccardi and former U.S. Attorney General Dick Thornburgh are supposedly examining the "60 Minutes II" episode — and, in particular, the role producer Mary Mapes played in its preparation.

Mapes had been gunning for Bush for at least five years and finally — she thought — had struck paydirt. Rather, " 'hard-news' investigative reporter" that he is, got sucked in. Together, they wrecked the credibility of the erstwhile Tiffany Network.

In the final analysis, though, they were merely the network's agents.

Boccardi and Thornburgh need to do more than determine whether Rather and Mapes get away with it. There has to be a full public accounting of the circumstances and environment that made the attempted hit possible in the first place.

As it is, Mapes' future is an open question.

But Rather, sort of, gets to skip town before judgment is rendered.

His last day in the anchor chair is meant to be March 9, 24 years to the day after he succeeded Walter Cronkite — an anchor once described as the "most trusted man in America."

History's verdict on Rather will be — needs to be — much harsher.

He has only himself to blame.

Courage, Dan.

BLOGGERS WIN THEIR AIR ATTACK VS. DAN

Wed Nov 24, 2:27 AM ET

By DEBORAH ORIN

WASHINGTON CBS anchor Dan Rather's discharge under less than honorable circumstances is the icing on the 2004 election cake for a lot of Republicans who see him as the icon of liberal media bias.

It's also a dramatic sign of the Internet-fueled revolution that means the old "mainstream media," such as CBS and The New York Times, can no longer set the terms of political debate, as they did just a few years ago. CBS and the Times tried, but failed, to dismiss challenges to Democrat John Kerry's Vietnam War service from the anti-Kerry Swift Boat Veterans for Truth. The Internet helped the group make its case.

Now Rather is going out in ignominy because of his "60 Minutes" report using fabricated memos from a discredited source to question President Bush's National Guard service.

The story was quickly torn apart by Internet bloggers, who produced convincing evidence that the memos were forged.

Some anti-Rather bloggers now fume that he is still getting away with murder, and that there is a CBS cover-up because he's keeping his job on "60 Minutes."

But go back four years to the 2000 presidential election, in the pre-blogger era, and Rather would likely have gotten away with his phony story and it could have tilted the election against Bush.

Instead, because of the bloggers, the story backfired, boosting Bush by revving up his supporters.

"The Michael Moores and Dan Rathers of the world attacking Bush kept the Republican base motivated and helped get out the vote, and that's why, to some extent, I'm actually sorry to see him go," said GOP pollster Jim McLaughlin.

Republican strategist Rich Galen put it this way:

"The problem with Rather is that he insisted his view was not just a view but the only view. But now the marketplace is deciding who people will read and who people will believe."

Is March 2005 too early for Dan Rather to go?

CBS and Dan Rather are claiming that Dan Rather's latest exhibition of his personal biases, the forged Texas National Guard documents aimed at tilting the election towards Hanoi John Kerry, is not the reason for Rather's decision to step down at CBS. Who believes that?

They were not "allegedly forged documents" they were forged documents.

I recall that the woman you mentioned had either been questioned or interviewed by CBS or Dan Rather in defense of Rather, this is not some independent source backing Dan Rather and CBS.

The aged woman you refer to was a typist for the Texas National Guard, and she is going to remember exactly, or even "essentially as she had transcribed in the originals"? Come on! Transcribed is not original and any transcription or reconstruction that is passed off as authentic by an old enemy of George W. Bush with the purpose of being used by other enemies of George Bush without passing the tests of document experts and actually ignoring the warnings and protests of document experts is most likely a forgery.

CBS has got to be as happy as Sandy "Secrets In My Pants" Berger or Gary "I Didn't Do It" Condit that other news is crowding Dan Rather's biased blunders off the front page.

DAVID BAUDER, AP Television Writer writes:
"The veteran anchor has been under fire in recent months for his role in a "60 Minutes Wednesday" story that questioned President Bush's service in the National Guard, which turned out to based on allegedly forged documents."

These were not forged documents were they? Did Not 60 Minuets present a woman who typed the original documents and she confirmed that the wording and content the 60 Minuets report were essentially as she had transcribed into the originals?

If I go to my old manual typewriter and type Lincoln's Address at Gettysburg, worded just as Lincoln's original, hand written copy was worded, and I offer my work to you while stating "this is Lincoln's Getisbourgh Address", is that a forged document that I hand you?

Rather to Step Down From 'CBS Evening News'

November 23, 2004

By DAVID BAUDER, AP Television Writer

NEW YORK - Dan Rather, embattled anchor of the "CBS Evening News," announced Tuesday that he will step down in March, on the 24th anniversary of taking over the job from Walter Cronkite.

The veteran anchor has been under fire in recent months for his role in a "60 Minutes Wednesday" story that questioned President Bush's service in the National Guard, which turned out to based on allegedly forged documents.

Rather, 73, said he will continue to work for CBS, as a correspondent for both editions of "60 Minutes."

He made no mention of the National Guard story in announcing the change, saying he had agreed with CBS executives last summer that after the Nov. 2 election would be the right time to leave.

"I have always been and remain a `hard news' investigative reporter at heart," he said. "I now look forward to pouring my heart into that kind of reporting full time."

CBS did not mention a potential successor.

"He has been an eyewitness to the most important events for more than 40 years and played a crucial role in keeping the American public informed about those events and their larger significance," CBS Chairman Leslie Moonves said.

Rather made his name as a reporter covering the Nixon White House. His nearly quarter-century at the helm of the "CBS Evening News" is the longest continuous anchor tenure ever for a network evening broadcast.

A report on what went wrong with the National Guard story, from a two-man independent investigative panel, is due imminently. Rather anchored the story and initially defended it when it was criticized.

Rather's announcement comes eight days before his NBC rival, Tom Brokaw, steps down as "Nightly News" anchor and is replaced by Brian Williams.

The triumvirate of Rather, Brokaw and ABC's Peter Jennings has ruled network news for more than two decades. Rather dominated ratings after taking over for Cronkite during the 1980s, but he was eclipsed first by Jennings and then by Brokaw. His evening news broadcast generally runs a distant third in the ratings each week.

His hard news style was mixed with a folksy Texan style that led him to rattle off homespun phrases on Election Night. But odd incidents dogged him: In 1987 he walked off the set, leaving CBS with dead air, to protest a decision to let a tennis match delay the news. And his claim that he was accosted on the street by a strange man saying, "What's the frequency, Kenneth?" led rock band R.E.M. to write a song with the same name.

My previous to Kerry Republican [10-19-2004 04:23 PM ET (US)]

Well, I guess Kerry Republican just wanted to stir some shit, because Kerry Republican doesn't answer.

wrote "I'd have to read Buchanan's book", yes, I would like to read new information about George Bush, so I'm waiting to find out Buchanan has to say about him. I think the news media people don't like Buchanan very much, so they ignore what he writes.

Edited by author 10-23-2004 05:35 PM
Kerry Republican, I guess I'd have to read Buchanan's book to figure out what you're talking about. Can you give the title to the book and can you cite chapter, page and verse?

Anyone want to talk about the smoke from which Dan Rather attempted to summon fire. Im speaking of the military records obtained by Patrick Buchanan through the freedom of information act, and published in his latest book lampooning the Neo conservatives.

Although there are no colorful smears of the sort in Dan Rathers fiction, the facts paint the true story that our commander in chief not only dodged military service but did it repeatedly. Patrick Buchanan is not a person whom I agree with on every issue however give him credit, he does know how to sniff out the truth.

How can Dan Rather get away with such dishonesty?

Send Buttons to CBS Evening News people, especially Dan Rather - send buttons to media pukes http://www.buttondepress.com/Button-em.htm

After Dan Rather gets down wiping the egg off his face over his latest screw-up, the forged Texas National Guard documents in an attempt to smear President G.W. Bush, Dan Rather has found himself a permanent place along the Axis of Weasel and permanently etched his name in Media Idiots Hall of Fame.
