Dan Rather vs. Government & Corporations
Associated Press: Dan Rather said Thursday that the undue influence of the government and large corporations over newsrooms spurred his decision to file a $70 million lawsuit against CBS and its former parent company.
"Somebody, sometime has got to take a stand and say democracy cannot survive, much less thrive with the level of big corporate and big government interference and intimidation in news," he said on CNN's "Larry King Live."
[From Chris Ortiz] Maybe the so-called "liberal media bias" was a bit overblown? Maybe it took conservative eyes off the ball of corporate and government influence in the newsroom.
