More quotes by 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 all difficulties were known at the outset of a long journey, most of us would never start out at all.
Dan Rather
Courage is being afraid but going on anyhow.
Dan Rather
Music is important. It says things you heart can't say any other way, and in a language everyone speaks. Music crosses borders, turns smiles into frowns, and vice versa. These observations are shared with a hope: that, when schools cut back on music classes, they really think about what they're doing - and don't take music for granted.
Dan Rather
Never eat spinach just before going on the air.
Dan Rather
Americans will put up with anything provided it doesn't block traffic.
Dan Rather
Ratings don't last. Good journalism does.
Dan Rather
Fear rules almost every newsroom in the country.
Dan Rather
I'm part of nobody's world except Brezhnev's.
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
And for whatever reason I've loved the news since I can remember. I loved it when I was in elementary school.
Dan Rather
We may see Michael Jackson's baby before we know the final outcome of this race for the House of Representatives tonight.
Dan Rather
Texas: 32 electoral votes, another of the so-called big enchiladas or if not an enchilada at least a huge taco.
Dan Rather
What separated Ed Murrow from the rest of the pack was courage.
Dan Rather
Performing doesn't turn me on. It's an egomaniac business, filled with prima donnas - including this one.
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
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 respect and empathize with reporters and editors who must compete in today's environment. And I know full well that when I've been covering campaigns, which I still do, I've made my mistakes and have been far from perfect.
Dan Rather
