The Ghost and Mr. Rather

I was listening to News Watch on Fox yesterday and Dan Rather's name came up. No one even mentioned his communication with the incorporeal entity at the CBS building. No one scoffed about Edward R. Murrow haunting the third floor and "watching over" CBS land.
I wonder what the press reaction would be if President Bush were having conversations with Abraham Lincoln ? If one claims to be attempting to communicate with God the press scoffs and ridicules and implies you're a danger to civilization. But, one of their own converses "many times" with the ghost of CBS past and not an eye is blinked. Where is the demand to outfit him in an "I love myself" jacket and rubber pants and put him in a padded cell with roommate Andy Rooney. There they can tilt at windmills while Edward Murrow acts as oracle continuing with sage advice like the reporting of the National Guard memos.
Tell us, where now is the disdain for the supernatural, why no raised eyebrows? What makes "Dementia Dan" so free of criticism.
"So are the paths of all who forget God; And the hope of the hypocrite shall perish."
