Well, first of all, Dan Rather is assuming it’s fixable, which I’m not so sure about, but let’s give him the benefit of the doubt on asking President Obama to help fix print media’s problems. Rather doesn’t specifically mention print media, but we all know that’s where the problem is.
That said, getting beyond most the comments on the story, it is true that the Fourth Estate has taken that phrase far too literally for too long, at the top-of-the-heap level. The Aspen Institute at which Rather made his comments could be a top example of that.
