Jeez, is he serious?
PIERS MORGAN: Let’s turn quickly to what has been on CBS, your old network, former colleague on leave of absence over this report from Benghazi. Many people believe it was a double standard at CBS in the way you were treated in terms of the way you were departed from CBS, and the way that Lara Logan has been treated and the way they handled this crisis. What do you think?
DAN RATHER: Well, first of all, CBS has a lot to answer for this. There were a lot of questions, they have added to some of them. I don’t want to add to their burden, I know what it feels like to be the correspondent who is at the center of controversy, when there are people above and below you.
We’ll make this point, with our story; the one that led to our difficulty, no question the story was true. Although most of us lost our jobs, it was okay, your story was true, but the way you got to the truth was flawed. The process was flawed. That was not the case in the Benghazi case; unfortunately, they were taken in by a man who was a fraud.
