Reading the opening chapters, and later portions throughout, I couldn't help wondering why an editor didn't ask him to tone down his personal remarks, which would only have made it a more solid work. I mean, they ARE personal comments, and clearly he thinks Dan Rather (or "The Dan", as he says everyone calls him at CBS behind the scenes) is egotistical and vindictive, but those are comments that are irrelevant to dominant liberalism in the media, and how it colors the news.
