For those that thought Dan Rather rode off into the sunset when he left CBS News for an obscure cable channel after the “Rathegate” scandal comes word that a movie about the episode may be in the works.
From the New York Observer.
The Media Mob has learned that a team of Hollywood insiders is currently working on a screen adaptation of Truth And Duty: The Press, the President, and the Privilege of Power—the 2005 book by former CBS News producer Mary Mapes, in which she defends the 60 Minutes II story by Dan Rather about President George W. Bush’s time in the Texas Air National Guard, which ran on CBS in September 2004 and eventually led to her ouster from the network.
Who would want to turn “Rathergate” into a feature-length film?
According to sources familiar with the situation, Producer Mikkel Bondesen, (his credits include serving as executive producer on the USA Network series “Burn Notice”) is actively working on the adaptation with screenwriter James Vanderbilt.
Mr. Vanderbilt wrote the screenplay for the 2007 serial killer movie Zodiac—based on the nonfiction book by Robert Graysmith—and is currently writing the screenplay for Spider-Man 4.
I am surprised that Bush basher Michael Moore didn’t jump at the chance to produce this film. Then again what makes this sour grapes story so compelling to begin with?

To paraphrase the Bible: “when a poor man falls, others rush to push him further down ..but when a rich man falls, many rush to hold him up since (sic.) they are dependent on him and seek whatever residual favors he can confer”
There is also a verse about the rich man, when caught in wrongdoing will raise his chin high and proclaim he did nothing wrong.
The media having been caught predictably then will do whatever it can to protect, vindicate one of their own. The height of hypocracy from our high priests of truth..
