Is it weird that Justin is making all these casting announcements before the official announcements (at least as of the time I'm sending this Justin's post has been up for 30 mins and still no official announcement)? He did it for Melissa too (https://www.instagram.com/p/C5yzmypy-8I/) but her official articles came out withing a few minutes of him posting.

Link and link,

Haha for some reason I thought Jensen was madly typing away on an antique typewriter and then it showed he was actually playing an arcade game. Typewriters are making a comeback with Gen Z and even Gen Alpha (called the "typewriter revolution").

CBS likely told Justin to make the announcements, figuring it's the least expensive way to promote the show. I'm a little surprise because CBS are anti-star makers, but that may have changed ever since Leslie Moonves was forced out.

Dan Rather regresa al aire tras amarga salida hace 18 años y días antes de su documental en Netflix | Noticias

NUEVA YORK (AP) — Dan Rather regresó a las ondas de CBS News por primera vez desde su amarga salida hace 18 años, apareciendo en una entrevista reflexiva en “CBS Sunday Morning” días antes del debut de un documental de Netflix sobre la vida del periodista de 92 años.Después de 44 años en la cadena y 24 como presentador del “CBS Evening News”, Rather se fue bajo una nube luego de una investigación fallida sobre el historial militar del entonces presidente George W. Bush. Rather se despidió como presentador por última vez el 9 de marzo de 2005 y abandonó la cadena cuando terminó su contrato 15 meses después.Con una continua enemistad entre él y el entonces jefe de la CBS, Leslie Moonves, Rather esencialmente se convirtió en una persona insignificante en la división de noticias que dominó durante décadas.“Sin disculpas ni explicaciones, extraño a CBS”, dijo Rather al corresponsal Lee Cowan en la entrevista que se transmitió el domingo. “Lo he extrañado desde el día que me fui”.Rather escapó a la culpa oficial por el informe que cuestionaba el servicio de Bush en la Guardia Nacional durante la guerra de Vietnam pero, como titular del noticiero, se le identificó con él. CBS no pudo garantizar la autenticidad de algunos documentos en los que se basó el informe, aunque muchas personas involucradas en la historia todavía creen que eran auténticos.En el documental “Rather”, que se estrena el miércoles en Netflix, Rather dijo que pensaba que sobreviviría al incidente, pero su esposa, Jean, le dijo: “Te peleaste con el presidente de Estados Unidos durante su campaña de reelección. ¿Qué pensaste que iba a pasar?”.Rather no se jubiló después de dejar CBS. Hizo periodismo de investigación y entrevistas a estrellas de rock para HDNet, una red de televisión digital por cable y satélite. En los últimos años, una nueva generación lo conoce como una presencia mordaz en las redes sociales. Copyright 2024 The Associated Press. Todos los derechos reservados.

The return of Dan Rather

Dan Rather returned to the CBS News airwaves for the first time since his bitter exit 18 years ago, appearing in a reflective interview on “CBS Sunday Morning” days before the debut of a Netflix documentary on the 92-year-old newsman’s life.

After 44 years at the network, 24 as anchor of the “CBS Evening News,” Rather left under a cloud following a botched investigation into then-President George W. Bush’s military record. Rather signed off as anchor for the last time on March 9, 2005, and exited the network when his contract ended 15 months later.

With continued enmity between him and since-deposed CBS chief Leslie Moonves, Rather essentially became a nonperson at the news division he dominated for decades.

“Without apology or explanation, I miss CBS,” Rather told correspondent Lee Cowan in the interview that aired Sunday. “I’ve missed it since the day I left.”

Dan Rather, at 92, on a life in news

“NO SOLDIER WORTHY OF THE NAME WILL LEAVE EVEN A DEAD COMRADE.”

No soldier worthy of the name will leave even a dead comrade.

There's a great misunderstanding of what soldiers Sailors Marines and Air are afraid of in war.

They are afraid of dying, of course 

They are 

But that's not what they're most afraid of.

Fighting men and women are most afraid of letting down the guy to their left or the woman to their right. — DAN RATHER, TEXAS Thine alabaster cities gleam Undimmed by human tears! America! America!

Ex-anchor Rather gives CBS interview

It was his first presence on the network since his bitter ’05 exit

NEW YORK — Dan Rather returned to the CBS News airwaves for the first time since his bitter exit 18 years ago, appearing in a reflective interview on CBS Sunday Morning days before the debut of a Netflix documentary on the 92-year-old newsman’s life.

After 44 years at the network, 24 as the CBS Evening News anchor, Rather left under a cloud following a botched investigation into then-President George W. Bush’s military record. 

Rather, who was born in Wharton, signed off as anchor for the last time on March 9, 2005, and exited the network when his contract ended 15 months later.

With continued enmity between him and since-deposed CBS chief Leslie Moonves, Rather essentially became a nonperson at the news division he dominated for decades.

“Without apology or explanation, I miss CBS,” Rather told correspondent Lee Cowan in the interview, which aired Sunday. “I’ve missed it since the day I left.”

Rather escaped official blame for the report, which questioned Bush’s Vietnam War-era National Guard service, but, as the anchor who introduced it, was identified with it. 

CBS could not vouch for the authenticity of some documents upon which the report was based, although many people involved in the story still believe it was true.

In the documentary Rather , debuting Wednesday on Netflix, Rather said he thought he would survive the incident, but his wife, Jean, told him, “You got into a fight with the president of the United States during his reelection campaign. What did you think was going to happen?”

Rather did not retire after leaving CBS, doing investigative journalism and rock star interviews for HDNet, a digital cable and satellite television network. 

Over the past few years, he has become known to a new generation as a tart-talking presence on social media.

This past week, he posted on X during former President Trump’s hush money trial: 

“Is it just me or did today seem sleazy even for Donald Trump?”

“You either get engaged and you get engaged in the new terms ... or you’re out of the game,” Rather said in the CBS interview, filmed at his home in Texas. “And I wanted to stay in the game.”

The Netflix documentary traces his career from coverage of President John F. Kennedy’s assassination, the Vietnam War and Watergate, through his anchor years and beyond. 

It includes some of the then-tightly wound Rather’s odder incidents, including an assault in New York City by someone saying, “What’s the frequency, Kenneth,” then later appearing onstage with R.E.M. when the group performed its song of the same name.

In both the documentary and in the CBS interview, Rather bypasses his career when talk turned to his legacy.

“In the end, whatever remains of one’s life — family, friends — those are going to be the things for which you’re remembered,” he said.

'Steady. Courage.' 

Netflix's 'Rather' tells the story of one of America's top journalists

Dan Rather, the subject of the new documentary "Rather," available on Netflix starting May 1, has been a journalist for some 70 years.

When it comes to summing up the legacy of a man who has been on the public stage for decades, historian and author David Brinkley has this to say about Dan Rather.

"Journalism is a higher calling, not a career," Brinkley concludes in the new documentary "Rather." "When you're looking at who were successful journalists over the last 50 years, Dan Rather would be at the very top of the list."

"Rather," available on Netflix on May 1, is as adroit, informed and, at times, intense as its subject matter. 

It does not stint on the controversies, including the reporting mistakes that ultimately ended Rather's career at CBS News. 

Yet for most of its 94 minutes, the documentary gives an unerring account of his history and, because of his vantage point in national media, ours.

Dan Rather: The early years

The movie does not start with Rather's childhood, but it records that he was born in 1931 in Wharton County, Texas, during the Great Depression. 

When he was 12, he developed debilitating rheumatic fever, something that informed the way he faced the rest of his life.

"While not as bad as polio, (it) is very bad," Rather told the American-Statesman in April 2020 at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. "I was bedridden for the better part of two years. And I know that plenty of other people have gone through even tougher times."

His father and mother lent him the tools to get through this crisis, values that pop up in various ways during the documentary.

"First, live in the present. My mother had a saying: 'About yesterday, no tears, about tomorrow, no fears.' I’ve repeated that from time to time," Rather told the American-Statesman "The words 'steady' and 'courage' have had a lot of meaning to me. They were two of my father’s favorite words. When I was bedridden, he’d put his hand on me and say, 'Steady. Courage.'"

At his father's insistence, Rather rebuilt his body through hard outdoor labor. 

He recovered well enough to later join the U.S. Marines, but the service ousted him when Marines found out about his history with rheumatic fever. 

He attended high school in Houston and studied journalism at Sam Houston State Teachers College in Huntsville.

"Rather" swiftly records his debut in Houston-area radio during the early 1950s. 

He learned to improvise on the air, and he gained exposure to national TV audiences as a KHOU-TV reporter during devastating 1961 Hurricane Carla. 

His key innovation was not to brave the waves on the coast, as many remember him doing, but to superimpose a transparent satellite image of the giant storm over a map of Texas; more than 100,000 people subsequently evacuated.

Impressed, CBS News appointed Rather as bureau chief in Dallas, where he led the reporting on the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy. 

He covered the civil rights movement on the ground, where the abuses against protesters pricked not only his conscience, but also that of the nation, which had not before seen the brutality of Southern racism in such bold, moving, inescapable images.

After a time as White House correspondent, Rather spent a year reporting on the Vietnam War in the field — an assignment he sought aggressively — and, once again, the nation could not turn its gaze from the raw violence or the dismal fates of American soldiers. 

This brought on vituperative personal calls from President Lyndon Baines Johnson, the kind of thing Rather wore as a badge of honor.

Rather became part of the news during the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago when, trying to do his job, he was manhandled by convention security, not unlike what the autocratic Mayor Richard Daley's police force was doing to protesters outside the hall. 

During the early 1970s, he followed the Watergate scandal down every dark alley of President Richard Nixon's crimes and coverups.

Anchor of the 'CBS Evening News'

Among Rather's exploits during this period, some of them while he was a crucial part of the wildly successful "60 Minutes" news team, was going undercover in Afghanistan in 1980, disguised in local dress, after the Soviet invasion. 

Media critics who felt that this kind of reporting was a stunt called him "Gunga Dan," but once again Rather had demonstrated the value of one of his guiding principles — courage.

For a while, Rather used that word to sign off his broadcasts after he succeeded beloved anchor Walter Cronkite in 1982, at a time when most Americans retained a deep trust in the reporting by the three network news shows. 

Yet even those who admired Rather for his tenacity as an investigative and foreign journalist admitted that in the anchor's chair, he could appear rather stiff, distant, even a bit awkward, with little of Cronkite's avuncular warmth or, over time, not quite enough of the elder statesman's blanket credibility.

Even as anchor, Rather took on big, dangerous assignments, such as reporting live from Tiananmen Square in 1989. 

Yet into the Reagan years and later, Rather was drawn into the political Manichaeism of the era, accused of nurturing a liberal bias. 

Critics dismissed his journalism as slanted by pointing to his intense, insistent questioning of politicians and their representatives.

One particular turning point came in 1988 when he stepped into trap laid by conservative media advisor Roger Ailes. 

In what was supposed to be a short, general interview, Rather pressed a seemingly surprised Vice-President George H.W. Bush with questions about the Iran Contra scandal. 

The edge in Rather's voice was all that the right needed in order to discredit Rather's objectivity.

From that point on, Rather's demeanor became a rallying point for right, even when the facts supported his case. 

They mocked Rather when, in 1986, he was attacked on the streets of New York by a man repeatedly asking, "Kenneth, what's the frequency?" 

Later the culprit, who was convicted of murdering an NBC stagehand, was identified by multiple sources as Rather's attacker.

During the 2004 presidential election, CBS obtained documents that appeared to verify damning accusations about President George W. Bush's service in the Air National Guard during the Vietnam War, which some later said were forgeries. 

Rather charged ahead with a "60 Minutes" report.

A series of revelations ignited a firestorm. 

Rather apologized on air for the mistake, but that was not enough. 

He stepped down as anchor of the "CBS Evening News" in 2005. 

When he refused to blame one of his staffers for mistakes, according to the documentary, he was forced into retirement from CBS in 2006.

Dan Rather after CBS

To the surprise of few, the fallout from the Bush story did not stop Rather. 

From 2006 to 2013, he hosted an investigative series for HDNET (later AXS TV). 

In 2018, he began leading an online newscast, and since 2021 he has produced the newsletter "Steady" on Substack.

Along the way, Rather became a surprise superstar on social media through often humorous bursts of moral insight for turbulent times. 

The lack of restraint common on social media posts seems to suit his outspoken personality. 

As the documentary points out, he has become a hero for a generation who not only missed him altogether on the "CBS Evening News," but may have never seen a network newscast.

"Rather" does not glide over his personal life, and his deep affection for Texas, where he keeps a Hill Country home with his wife, Jean Rather. 

It serves as the location for some of the documentary's interviews, especially the ones that share his perspectives on having spent such a long time on Earth.

"What old man do you know who doesn't want to tell you what he's learned out of life?" Rather says in the movie. "Working in television, social media — did he cover Tiananmen Square? Did he cover the Vietnam war? Did he cover Watergate? Did he cover the Kennedy assassination? As time moves along, that's not going to amount to very much. In the end, whatever remains of one's life — family, friends — those are going to be the things for which you will be remembered.

His daughter Robin Rather, who serves as a sort of emotional anchor for the documentary, confirms that her father is grounded in family life.

"As a journalist, he's all about courage," Robin says. "As a father, he's all about the love, absolute, unconditional love."

One of the surprisingly deft sources of wisdom in the movie is talk show host Andy Cohen, who once worked in the CBS newsroom. 

The documentary makers save this gem for the closing segments:

‘She Won’t Be Manageable’ They Said. Now She’s in Charge.#Wont #Manageable #Shes #Charge

On Sunday, May 13, 2018, Leslie Moonves, the chairman and chief executive of CBS, faced a difficult decision, perhaps the most agonizing of his long and celebrated media career: whether to pull the trigger on a coup against the Redstone family, which controlled CBS. “This is NUCLEAR,” Mr. Moonves wrote that afternoon to Bruce S. Gordon, a former president of the N.A.A.C.P. and a close confidant…

Even his little escalator ride was.... just such a joke in retrospect.

The media fed Donald Trump's campaign when it could have ignored him.

But they couldn't resist the political rubber necking. "Oooohhh, he's being RACIST! That's so interesting! It's SO "newsworthy!"

"Oh... now he's gaining in the polls. (Due to media attention.) "Well, now that's newsworthy too!"

Leslie Moonves on Donald Trump: “It May Not Be Good for America, but It’s Damn Good for CBS”

And THAT is how the media gave the America Donald Trump. Hell, even NPR wouldn't stop covering his rallies in 2016, so I just stopped listening to NPR. I was SO sick of hearing about them!

Why couldn't they just have said? "Trump is just being openly racist and we refuse to give his political cause a sense of legitimacy by reporting on them."

Thanks.. for the really "responsible" reporting Leslie Mooves, et al. America will never forgive you for the damage you helped to cause.
