Rather responds to Moonves ’sexist’ charge
Cory Bergman June 13th, 2007
“It’s insulting and disappointing that Les Moonves, who know a lot about entertainment, would try to mask the real point of that comment,” said Dan Rather during an interview on Fox News. The point, Rather explains, is the line between news and entertainment has blurred. “This isn’t a Katie Couric problem… These days, they don’t know what news is, they know about entertainment.”

I prefer Rather’s brand of hard hitting news to what I see on CBS, too, but there are less and less of us every day. Rather should cut the network some slack.
Times change. Network news has been in decline for years. There’s no reason to expect that this can be reversed with just a little tinkering. And big changes hurt. And sometimes they flop.
That’s just how it is.

If people prefer the lightened up Couric-style news, why are her ratings lower?
