#11 Rather is a product of a corporate culture at CBS that went largely undetected until his lie was exposed. They purged him and his immediate associates but the culture continued. In reality, he's no worse than Nora O'Donnell or any of the rest of them. His counter parts at ABC and NBC are all just as bad if not worse. Somebody must still be watching because they're still on the air. That's the hell of it.

#12 I have a Pennsylvania Deutsch friend who is a very successful butcher. He says something that has always stuck with me. "Some people don't like good food."

That applies to art, information, relationships, politics, etc.
