It's been almost 20 years since Dan Rather signed off from the anchor desk here at CBS News. Of the so-called 'Big Three' TV anchormen back in the day, watched by some 50 million people a night, Rather was there the longest, almost a quarter-century.In his 44 years with CBS, Rather held every post a network reporter could: bureau chief, war correspondent, foreign correspondent, White House correspondent.
'Asked to rate where journalism is today, Rather … paused. 'Let the record show that I paused!' he laughed, before answering: 'The people who are practicing journalism today are so much better than those of us who came up at another time. They're better educated, they're more knowledgeable about the world. They wanna do the right thing; they're doing the best they can.
