Can't keep a good man down

Dan Rather already has a new gig. Just three after he was abruptly dismissed from CBS, Dan has entered into an agreement to launch a new show called "'Dan Rather Presents' on HDNet, the high-definition channel owned by billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban." Cuban described the show as "an opportunity to do news in what I like to call 'fearless mode,' what Dan calls 'with guts.' Go out there and find the stories we think will have impact."

Dan will be trading in the larger audience of the great unwashed masses for a select group of subscribers. I'm betting he'll gain an impressive following in no time. If I had a high-def TV I'd subscribe myself just to get the program.
