Rather will retire as CBS news anchor

*side note, sorry for the lack of updates recently. I'll be updating regularly again.*

Dan Rather will be leaving the CBS news desk. To some, his leaving will be a sad passing of an era of news. To those who dislike the liberal bias in the media, his "retirement" will be a vindication after the fake national guard documents scandal prior to the election.

Many of the stories I saw about his retirement declined to mention the scandal that brought a lot of heat towards Rather. However, the ones that did mention it (including the Fox News article that I linked) said that Rather did not bring up the scandal in his statement. He simply said that both he and CBS decided that he would be retiring after the election.

While he will no longer be a news anchor, Rather will still be a correspondent for 60 minutes.

I was expecting this announcement, though I thought that they would hold it off until January. It will be interesting to see what happens with the CBS news division in the future. This was a rough election for CBS, I am sure there will have to be some more shakeups and policy changes over the next few months in order to regain their credibility.
