I actually bumped into Dan Rather in Kennedy Airport back in the early 90s, when you still had to go up to the chick to check in for a flight. He had some camera team with him with all their gear in road cases stenciled with CBS logos. I guess they were on their way somewhere to report on something. I was on the line checking in next to him and I just said, "Hey Dan!" He turned and I told him, "You know why they call your channel CBS? Because when I watch, all I do is see B.S."
He looked incensed. He just turned forward again and his face was turning red. It's clear he wanted to say something but just didn't or couldn't come up with something.
Decades later, no matter how often I see him making his asinine statements or flat out lying on social media, I think of that day and still get a warm feeling from that one moment.
