    Does anything surprise you with Dan Rather. Sounds like he doing the same stuff that CBS fired him for a few years ago. He has always been and will always be a pompous a z z hole, period.

    Wow, that's kinda harsh, eh ? that's your opinion and I respect that but I give him credit for standing up and saying something that is happening everyday in this industry. Like so many company DAC stories on this site, not all can be lies....... :biggrin_2558:

    Harsh, no just the way I see it. The liberal media paints the picture they want everyone to see, the views and political views. I know that is the free speech that is his god given right, however, when you report something it should all be the truth, not some half truths or in this case one disgruntled employee and her experiences.

    And the last thing we need right now is more bad press.

    Perhaps all of the reporting about Mr Dan should start with "What's the Frequency Kenneth?" When he can answer that question, then we'll take him seriously.

    I agree, Rookie. This industry, or should I say the subsidized CDL mills need to be exposed for the bottom feeders they are. :yes2557:
