I just read this. Dan Rather an ardent fact checker?
As far as I can tell, yes. In fact, he often qualifies things that field reporters state, carefully pointing out when the network has only one source for a piece of information, as opposed to corroborated facts. He does this regardless of whether the information in question would favor a liberal or conservative political view, so yes -- he's a stickler for responsible reporting.

As I just said, there's no such thing as a reporter without an agenda. What's your standard for responsible journalism? The bombastic posturing of Bill O'Reilly?

Old Dan Blabber?
Okay, I see you're more into the Rush Limbaugh school of childish name calling. Wow... what a convincing and substantive way to make a point.
