Reply #24: I remember that ruling and the huge Internet campaign that was fought against it, but we lost.

Big Corporate News Media is so much an entrenched part- even a major genesis-- of this socio/economic/political cancer we've been increasingly plagued with for decades now.

Who else besides Kerry, in the time since, has been this vocal? We need somebody in power who gets this---- really really gets this.

In the meantime, I will be riveted to Dan Rather's fight. I won't be able to get enough of it. He doesn't need the money at his stage in life. He said as much, and says he will donate a vast share of any award to what few journalistic bodies and watchdogs are still around with any integrity left, as a legacy that older era. I'm rooting for his effort with all that's in me. I hope he has the best legal team money can buy. I hope he brings CBS executives to their knees in a very exemplary and very public way. It's way time.

K&R.
