Dan Rather was the host and anchor of CBS Evening News for more than twenty years. He resigned the post in the wake of an investigation into then-President George W. Bush\'s Vietnam-era military service. A new film starring Robert Redford and Cate Blanchett, \'Truth,\' explores that period and the outstanding questions raised by Rather\'s journalistic inquiry. Host Alec Baldwin spoke with Rather at a recent screening of the film at the Hamptons International Film Festival, where they discussed Rather\'s days as a White House correspondent, recent attempts to re-assess Nixon, and the state of news today.
