This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I don't think it was an accident that Dan Rather was the target for the Killian Documents scandal.
It's a low bar. With ABC controlled by Disney and NBC by Microsoft, it was the last organization that could claim a semblance of independence.
Yeah I thought that was particularly odd because of his refusal to do or say anything to otherwise hurt Gee Dubz during the theft if the election, the obvious corruption, war for nothing, and the destruction of privacy. He was a reliable cog in a giant propaganda machine and they decided to fuck with him.
Kind of reminded me of What’s the frequency Kenneth for no real reason.
Rather was way out in front of all three of these stories.
Was he? Hm. I guess I didn’t watch a lot of tv news then.
