Don't Let the Door Hit You

Cronkite: Rather Stayed Too Long in Job

Hmm. When Tom Brokaw left the anchor chair at NBC, the media feted him and everyone talked about how much he would be missed. When Dan Rather leaves CBS, we get stories about how he should have left a long time ago, how Walter Cronkite thinks Rather's interim replacement, Bob Schieffer, is a better choice for Rather's full-time job, how Donald Trump would have fired him like an Apprentice contestant.

Maybe Rather should have written a book that lionizes old people.
