Dan Rather was live on C-SPAN last night licking his wounds in a little chat with former CBS colleague Marvin Kalb at American University: “I am not out there on the cutting edge of new media as you well know.” But he’s still not backing down on the phony-document thing: “The facts of the story were correct. One supporting pillar…was brought into question…no one has proven whether it was what it was purported to be or not….the story is accurate.” When Kalb asked if he would go back now in his role as “60 Minutes” correspondent and find the real National Guard papers, Rather replied, “Straight up, no chaser, no. One, CBS doesn’t want me to do that story. They wouldn’t let me do that story.”
