Dan Rather is a very much respected journalist reporter who many listen to.

Also we must acknowledge that what Dolan, or the Pope or Allen says matters too because many listen and read them too.

Mr. Scanlon, I often admire your comments however sometimes you like everyone including me, miss the mark. Mr. Dan Rather matters as do the other people you list.
