Calling Dan Rather

I mean knowledge not required and Dan has no reverence for anything. Granted he's not hip, but as Meatloaf says, "two outta three ain't bad".
CBS Seeking 'Irreverent,' 'Hip' Journalist for Eco-Beat (No Knowledge Required)
Job advertisement seeking 'wicked smart, funny, irreverent and hip, oozing
enthusiasm and creative energy.'

“CBS is expanding its coverage of the environment,” the ad reads. “We
seek a talented reporter/host for Internet video broadcast. We are looking for
smart, creative, hard working up and comers, who can bring great energy,
creativity and a dash of humor to our coverage. A deep interest in the
environment and sustainability issues will serve you well.”

So you would think such a job would require a science background or years of covering environmental news? Not exactly.

While seeking out the dark heart of the contrived tepid weather core settling o'er the globe, Dan could lower the brim on his fedora, flip up the collar of his London Fog and tighten the knot of his coat belt. He'd be stealthier than a wealthy wife being where she ain't supposed to be. He'd be on this story like stink on a hound dog baying in the rain. He'd dig deeper than a well digger dyin' of thirst. He'd,...well you get the idea.

Fits Danno to a tee. Come on, give him one more last chance.
