A couple of points here:
1) Rather did not do the investigative work on the Bush story that blew up in CBS's face. It was a producer and her staff, and he delivered it on the air. Turns out that they were defrauded, under circumstances that have yet to come out. He was basically railroaded, and I wish him well in his lawsuit against his old bosses.
2) It's been noted elsewhere that all of this alarming information will either be invalidated or confirmed during the certification process. Well, as the piece points out, there is a "revolving door" between Boeing and the FAA, meaning that key employees of the agency who "behave" will get lucrative jobs with the aircraft manufacturer. Chances of an honest assessment which runs counter to the interests of Boeing are practically zero.
Happy flying, everyone!
I'm currently a subscriber both to Dish and Comcast cable, and I was also an early subscriber to DirecTV. Dish is best, if you want access to the broadest range of programming, and quality is unmatched, even by good cable. Comcast here in Sarasota actually has more movie channels, but that's because they toss in some west feeds not offered by the satellites. They don't, however, have TechTV, CNNfn, or any out-of-market stations, which give you additional viewing options on sports events and syndicated shows, etc. The PVRs are life-changing, enabling you to skip 20 minutes of commercials per hour (!), as well as watch what you want when you want. You might also look at VOOM if you've got HD, but Dish and DirecTV are unlikely to let them stay ahead in that arena for a long time.
