I know he was a goof ball and all, but I remember Walter Cronkite and then Dan was the news for the last upteen gillion years. I think I will miss him.

I liked Dan Rather very much- I will miss him.

He isn't gone. He just quit, the CBS Evening News. In part, I believe, do to the whole Bush military records nonsense this past year. Anyway, he is becoming a full-time reporter for CBS' "60 Minutes" franchise.

By Bobbie~moderatr on Wednesday, March 9, 2005 - 10:47 pm:

by the way, Bob Schieffer is taking over the CBS Evening News. He is from the CBS news show, "Face The Nation".

I will not miss him.

I liked watching him when I did, I havnet' watched the CBS evening news since the Bush/Gore Campaign. I too believe that he left because of this whole Bush military records nonsense this past year. I did catch a Glimpse of his last show last night on the 11 o'clock news. And I liked the way he said goodbye.

I like him alot.Whenever anything news worthy happened, I go to CBS.I just trust his face.He is a good man ,and I will miss him.

By Missmudd on Thursday, March 10, 2005 - 10:26 am:

Maybe that is it, Dan was always the guy who would show up at the news stories, he added a certain continuity to our lives. If something was happening, I would always tune to CBS.

By Jtsmom on Thursday, March 10, 2005 - 11:16 am:

No!

By Breann on Thursday, March 10, 2005 - 11:42 am:

I will miss him. He's my favorite.

Bobbie, he put in his "retirement" date of March long before the whole Bush thing happened.

By Mrsheidi on Thursday, March 10, 2005 - 02:31 pm:

Most people retire by his age...I'd be vacationing somewhere!!!

By Boxzgrl on Thursday, March 10, 2005 - 03:41 pm:

I never watched much of him but in college when I was majoring in broadcast journalism I did a report on him. He's a great guy... truly remarkable in my eyes. I could name quite a few journalists I hold high respect for and he is one of them.

By Annie2 on Thursday, March 10, 2005 - 06:35 pm:

No, I won't miss him, either.

By Vicki on Thursday, March 10, 2005 - 06:38 pm:

Won't miss him here either. Rarely watch CBS.

By Imamommyx4 on Thursday, March 10, 2005 - 09:00 pm:

Won't miss him at all. I know everybody has their biases, but he is way too biased to the left for me.

By Hol on Friday, March 18, 2005 - 03:47 am:

I will not miss him. I am an NBC person. I really miss Tom Brokaw. I feel that HE was very honest.

I think that CBS is a very liberal network. In fact, the talk radio shows that I listen to (which are pretty conservative) jokingly call CBS the second "Al Quieda" network.
