- Bush and Rather clash on CBS Evening News over Iran-Contra affair On January 25, 1988, Vice President George H.W. Bush and CBS anchor Dan Rather engaged in a heated live interview on the 'CBS Evening News.' The nine-minute exchange focused on Bush's involvement in the Iran-Contra scandal, with Rather accusing Bush of hypocrisy for selling arms to Iran, a nation designated as a terrorist state. Bush denied any wrongdoing and criticized Rather for misrepresenting the interview's purpose, which was initially described as a political profile. The confrontation intensified when Bush referenced Rather's previous on-air walkout in September 1987, stating, 'How would you like it if I judged your career by those seven minutes when you walked off the set in New York?' The interview concluded abruptly when Rather asked if Bush would hold a press conference to address the issue, to which Bush responded negatively. The incident drew widespread media attention and public reaction, with many viewers expressing support for Bush and criticism of Rather's approach. source: washingtonpost.com
