After newsman Dan Rather left was fired from was forced out of departed CBS after four decades plus, a lot of people had no idea what the hell he was going to do. But then came news that he had signed on to Mark Cuban's HDNet, and now comes word that Rather's show will start on November 14 at 8pm.
It will be a news show called Dan Rather Reports, with Rather as the anchor, and will feature three segments: the war, a focus on the middle class, and politics. In other words, it sounds a lot like other news shows, but I guess the secret is in how they'll do it.
And to answer the next question you have, no, he really hasn't seen what Katie Couric is doing in his new seat. He's been too busy.

By "Dan Rathers Reports," they mean "Dan Rather Makes Shit Up And Then Tries To Defend It," right?

Dan was always the best, a direct descendant of Ed Murrow and many other great reporters. What I have been waiting for Katie to say as a sign off: 'Thanks for watchching. Dan will be back Monday'. If he got one thing wrong, he got 1000 things right. And I'm still not sure that he was as wrong as some people would like to think.
