In another question about Rush Limbaugh, an answerer stated "No - he's an idiot, a flamethrower. A journalist would try to report the news objectively, not "be" the news."
Is this true for Dan Rather when he reported the false documents about President Bush?

He was fired from CBS for his false story about Bush's military record. Used fake documents . So my answer is no. He was not a good journalist

Dan R was an excellent reporter. His 30 year career span was astonishing. He paid the price for his mistake, accepted responsibility, and held himself accountable. UNLIKE Rush Limbaugh.

Dan Rather had a 30+ yr. career as a world-renowned Journalist. What do you think?

The fact remains that BUSH DODGED THE DRAFT AND THEN DESERTED HIS POST.

Dan Rather's error in believing the authenticity of documents that supported what is already clearly known fact was unfortunate.
