I was interviewed on TV by Dan Rather when the Berlin Wall fell. After a few minutes he asked me to speak in a "much heavier German accent" to sound more "authentic". I refused because I felt that was just plain silly (my English is almost accent free).
"Rather" telling, isn't it?

I'm pretty sure that even CBS didn't have proportionally-spacing, automatically-superscripting, perfect-word-wrapping, super-duper-uber-typewriters in 1972-1973, which means that Dan Rather was likely banging things out on a fricking typewriter.
Obviously, the Dan Rather of today is a changeling left by aliens so naturally he would have no memories of fabric ribbons, monospaced fonts and Ko-Rec-Type.
Either that, or he's an idiot for not immediately recognizing just how UNLIKELY documents that looked like this in '72-'73 would be.
Absolutely. Freaking. Astounding. How stupid can CBS (and the rest of the MSM) be?
How stupid indeed?
