In a conversation with the blogger behind Scripting News Annex, former CBS Evening News anchor Dan Rather “said that his employer discourages” blogging, but he’s open to the idea.

“He said that large companies like to control what’s said about them, and that CBS is part of a large company (Viacom). But he added something that was surprising, that I’ve not heard elsewhere — he may leave CBS, and if he does, may start blogging. I offered my help and advice if he goes that route, he said he’d like that.”

So what should Rather’s blog be called? E-mail suggestions to tvnewser@mediabistro.com or drop them in the tip box…
