What’s Behind Dan Rather’s Wild Popularity?

Dan Rather was the folksy face of CBS Evening News for 24 years famous for his arresting turns of phrase and affability. He left the network in 2006 in the wake of a dispute over reporting on George W. Bush’s National Guard service. More than 10 years later, and at age 85, Rather has become—via his personal Facebook page, the Facebook page for his media company News and Guts, and various other ventures—a daily lifeline back to sanity for millions of people trying to navigate Trump’s America. I’ve worked with him on all sorts of projects over my career, so I reached out to Rather, whose new book What Unites Us: Reflections on Patriotism is set for release on Nov. 7, to ask him about his career’s latest act and, given his experience covering the civil rights movement of the 1960s, how he thinks about civil rights today. Our conversation, which was conducted via email, has been edited and condensed for clarity. Continue reading at 'Slate'
