Dan Rather reminds me of Bill Moyers. Not that that\'s a bad thing. I\'m just saying that both of them seem to have taken up the banner of the media reform crowd. I\'ve done some work with NAB, so I\'m always a little wary of this crowd. I understand that they want more diversity in media, and I agree with them. But I just wish they\'d recognize that local TV and radio stations face tremendous pressure from the Internet and New Media. Many local stations would not be afloat without corporate resources.

The FCC is essential but calling Dan Rather as a witness for minority ownership is another example of their complete inability to stay on mission and actually get relevant issues resolved. His experience as a highly paid network anchor has no application in this discussion unless his limo got stuck once at a local affiliate.

Lance, Whenever I see a gross error in spelling or grammar, it makes me look at the message with a lot more scepticism. So, in the future, remember that when your noun starts with a vowel, your preposition of \"a\" becomes \"an\". Good rhetoric requires good grammar.

Nice sarcasm, wingnut. Perhaps you haven\'\'t heard of the many conservative and Christian organizations that are also against media consolidation. But I guess the words \"Dan Rather\" have you flaring your nostrils, just as Rush Vicodin and Loofah Felafel and their corporate stooges at Clear Channel and Fox have drilled into you.
