•Connie Chung on Fighting for Herself—and Against Dan Rather—at CBS
63% Informative
Dan Rather co-anchored the CBS Evening News for six months in 1994 .
He says he was asked to cover the sordid soap opera starring Olympic archrivals Tonya Harding and Nancy Kerrigan .
Rather: "Would either Walter Cronkite or Dan Rather ever have been dispatched to chase after two women who twirled, jumped, and glided"?.
O. J. Simpson murder case was a tabloid story that none of us wanted anything to do with, says Maury Povich .
Povich: "I should have stood up to them and said no. How could I object without being called that dreaded name, bitch”.
Rather told me I should leave reporting or anchoring from the field to him, Chung says.
He was instructing me to stay put in New York , where I belonged, Chung recalls.
Chung : Rather thought of me as his rival.
Chung says he and Rather were two powerful people fighting for their professional lives.
