"In a wide-ranging interview on SiriusXM radio’s “Opie and Jimmy” show on Friday, former CBS News anchor Dan Rather talked about his 44-year career at the network — a network which he ultimately likened to the Soviet Union.
Wrapping up the interview, Gregg “Opie” Hughes asked Rather about his banishment from CBS News and his inability to be able to even walk into “Black Rock” — the CBS headquarters building on 6th Avenue in New York City.
“That’s unbelievable. We grew up with you every night. You were CBS,” an incredulous Hughes said.
“I appreciate that,” Rather said, adding, “I long ago made my peace with what happened at CBS.”
After Rather confirmed that he indeed cannot even walk into the lobby of the CBS building without being stopped, Hughes laughed, saying that the idea is “ridiculous.”
“On my better days, I can laugh at it too,” Rather said.
“That’s one thing to say you’re not welcome here. It’s another thing to say we’re going to expunge you from our history. It’s a little like what the Soviets used to do,” Rather continued. “They airbrush you out of the picture.”
