Rather and CBS should be carved up for their unprofessionalism.
And he has been carved up - in the mainstream media as demonstrated in the original link in this thread which leaves your last comment below dripping in irony:

The mass media is a joke and no longer can be trusted to give the straight poop about what is going on.

Meanwhile, a Pew study of where people are getting their campaign news (published in January), with some great debate points:

And a further look at the issue from a government controlled/Liberal bias, corporate owned mainstream media source today with some interesting insight:

Lastly, I was watching an early Sunday morning roundtable of journalists this morning - can't remember the network - and one remarked that a change he's noticed in the last 15 years or so is people tend to seek out news outlets which agree with their already formed opinions versus looking for pure information.

Hence the popularity of say Rush Limbaugh in one medium and Michael Moore in another.

Preaching to the choir.
