Rather Dumb A Top Tabloid Reporter Tells Cbs How To Do News

The Trial of Dan Rather "Just watch your back with Dan Rather, dear ... Just watch your back with Dan." It's the secret warning Walter Cronkite warbled to Connie Chung before she co-anchored with Dan-an experiment that ended Rather disastrously. Now in this acerbic send-up of mainstream Media Elites, tabloid legend Mike Walker of The National Enquirer decodes the hidden truth behind icon Cronkite's unheeded warning, showing why it cuts to the quick of Dan Rather's weird, quirky career. Going behind the headlines of "Rathergate," probing polls that reveal deepening distrust of the press, Walker spins an eyeopening tale of willful incompetence in America's most prestigious newsrooms-explaining how insidious fear, hubris, and an elitist, agenda-biased mentality motivates reporters, editors, and anchors to ignore even the most basic rules of journalism. It's a serious story edged with dark humor, delivered in the trademark snarky style of The Enquirer's famed Gossip Editor, who dons judicial robes to guide You The Jury through the tortuous twists and turns of journalism's Watergate. Hear ye, hear ye! Court is now officially in session.Walker, Mike is the author of 'Rather Dumb A Top Tabloid Reporter Tells Cbs How To Do News', published 2005 under ISBN 9781595550187 and ISBN 1595550186.
