Rather Should be Fired

Journal Sentinel tv and radio critic Tim Cuprisin is calling for Dan Rather's head.

The legacy of Edward R. Murrow is at stake here, and axing four off-camera folks unknown to the public just isn't enough. Neither is Rather's March 9 departure from the "CBS Evening News" anchor chair. He's supposed to remain as a correspondent at the very news magazine that aired the bungled story.

If CBS wanted to be really innovative they should just dump the evening news. It's an obsolete concept in a 24-7 news world.

"CBS Needs to Show Rather the Door"
