p>The decision to choose Dan Rather over Roger Mudd may go down
with the Ernie Broglio for Lou Brock trade as one of the worst in
history. As you note, Roger Mudd was, and is, a solid newsman,
smart, dignified, and “fair and balanced” before Fox News coined
the phrase. Like Brian Lamb from C-SPAN, he’s one of those who
practice the best virtue of his profession: Nobody can tell from
the way he presents a story or conducts an interview what his
politics are.

My best recollection of Roger Mudd was a real television hatchet
job called “The Selling of the Pentagon” in the 1960s. I have
disliked him ever since. There was a lot of editing of speaker’s
remarks to make speakers look foolish, as became routine with “60
Minutes.”
