Rathergate

is more important to our current journalistic condition and current events that Watergate. Yet the oblivious media dwells on Watergate (the Statesmen had two Watergate stories in the past few weeks) and ignores the irony of Dan Rather keynoting SWSX Interactive.

Dan Rather was exposed by Free Republic and internet bloggers as being a biased and dreadfully wrong (to the point of slander and forgery) on an anti-Bush story in 2004. Dan Rather and his crew used forged documents to attempt to affect the outcome of an election - and got caught in a lie. This is more relevent to the dinosaur, falling revenue media today than a 30 year old coverup. Rathergate.com keeps the flames of media watching alive.
