More quotes by Dan Rather
Start-ups like UniversityNow, a network of low-cost, online colleges, allows students to work at their own pace and pay a few hundred dollars a month for a degree.
Dan Rather
Have you ever had any anger about President Bush - who spent his time during the Vietnam War in the National Guard - running, in effect, a campaign that does its best to diminish your service in Vietnam? You have to be at least irritated by that, or have you been?
Dan Rather
It's the ratings, stupid, don't you know? They've got us putting more fuzz and wuzz on the air, cop-show stuff.
Dan Rather
Always marry a woman from Texas. No matter how tough things get, she's seen tougher.
Dan Rather
I've never believed in measuring one's worth by the size of his or her bank account. I prefer to look at distance traveled.
Dan Rather
Editing can alter the original meaning and context, and computers can alter the image itself. The camera can also be manipulated. At the very least, it must be turned in one direction - only one direction at a time ... Who chooses what direction to point the camera, and why?
Dan Rather
If I didn't have a front-row seat on history, it was at least a seat on the aisle.
Dan Rather
And now the sequence of events in no particular order.
Dan Rather
We may see Michael Jackson's baby before we know the final outcome of this race for the House of Representatives tonight.

One of the most important roles of our journalists is to be watchdogs.
Dan Rather
I'm a believer in what your record is. I am what my record is - some of it good, some of it bad, some of it hard to tell.
Dan Rather
I have tried to remain a working, cutting-edge journalist and I don't do it the way everybody else does it. And I think that's the difference.
Dan Rather
Those market researchers... are playing games with you and me and with this entire country. Their so-called samples of opinion are no more accurate or reliable than my grandmother's big toe was when it came to predicting the weather.
Dan Rather
Well, first of all, I don't want to debate the word conservative, but by my definition, a conservative is someone who wants to conserve the Constitution of the United States and the American tradition and law that no one is above the law.
Dan Rather
Fear rules almost every newsroom in the country.
Dan Rather
I don't pretend to be a digital savant or even a digital apprentice.
Dan Rather
The press is a watchdog. Not an attack dog. Not a lapdog. A watchdog. Now, a watchdog can't be right all the time. He doesn't bark only when he sees or smells something that's dangerous. A good watchdog barks at things that are suspicious.
Dan Rather
I'm proud to say I've never been anybody's lapdog.
Dan Rather
But we cannot rely on memorials and museums alone. We can tell ourselves we will never forget and we likely won't. But we need to make sure that we teach history to those who never had the opportunity to remember in the first place.
Dan Rather
And for whatever reason I've loved the news since I can remember. I loved it when I was in elementary school.
