Dan Rather Cbs Quotations

I have been lucky and blessed over these years to have what is, to me, the best job in the world and to have it at CBS News, ... Along the way, I've had the honor of working with some of the most talented, dedicated professionals in the world, and I'm appreciative of the opportunity to continue doing so in the years ahead.

No doubt the CBS Evening News will be different. Katie is a superb person, and she's a great pro. I'll be rooting for her, and I wish her well.

No doubt the CBS Evening News will be different.

This past summer, CBS and I began to discuss this matter in earnest -- and we decided that the close of the election cycle would be an appropriate time (to leave the broadcast.)

This is no big deal, but when you ask me about those specific quotes from those specific people, this is what I have to say, and it's all I have to say: That the accomplishments of these men speak for themselves. Individually and collectively, they've had some of the truly great careers in television news, at CBS or anywhere else. Since that's the way they feel, they're entitled to express their opinions. They've earned the right to voice them. Period.
