Rather gone, but bias will remain
The people at the two blogs Rathergate.com, Ratherbiased.com and Boznell at The Media Research Center may have this day to gloat and celebrate. CBS News, on their side, can try to make their viewers believe that this whole Dan Rather-stepping-down event has nothing to do with the Memogate last September and focus on good ol' memories.
For Rather - the writing on the wall says it all: I Fought the Blog and the Blog Won!
For his adversaries is this maybe a battle won, but the war is far from over. And liberal bias is not something that will go away Dan Rather, just as it didn't go away with Bryant Gumbel.
The bottom line - institutions matter.
