Dan Rather on Donald Trump.
Dan Rather

He is the wrong person to be in the White House. There is little nobility, little humility and little honesty. There would be at least some checks-and-balances on Hillary Rodham Clinton-- the whole Republican Establishment has been attacking her for twenty-five years-- and on Bernie Sanders. Trump brings with him an army of lawyers, little conception of ethics that I can see, and few puppet masters. |
Dan Rather : Quite an excellent source since we know that he lost what was once considered the most respected position in the News business for being DISHONEST and then denying it all when he was caught .
How dishonest must you be to get released from long time Left leaning CBS News . The man is disgraced and no longer of any matter at all . By the way a man who loved to " dish it out " but was always very thin skinned when someone challenged him . |

The news media does not report the news they invent it based on their ideology. Most of them have lost their objectivity and some their integrity.

I read his quote. What is untrue?

So let me get this straight. Dan Rather, who is a liar and a disgraced journalist is angry because Trump called him a liar and a disgraced journalist. You can't make this $h*t up.

Hillary Clinton has many controls on her. Trump has none as he does not seem to respect the US Constitution in the least. |
"Dan Rather, the most well-known and well-respected television anchor in America, fronted a report prepared by experienced and well-respected TV news producer Mary Mapes in a show called “60 Minutes Wednesday.” The topic: some memos purported to be written by a Lt. Col. Jerry B. Killian that proved conclusively that Bush II shirked his National Guard duty during the Viet Nam War era.
Too bad the memos were forgeries. After defending Rather and Mapes for about two weeks, CBS admitted that the news team had inadequately investigated the memos. Mapes was fired almost immediately, and Dan rather, who was set to retire anyway, went more quickly and less elegantly than previously planned." Rather did not investigate the story he presented. Is that what TV newspeople do today? They investigate what they are handed or they prepare it themselves. How did Bush, Clinton, Trump, Sanders and McCain get through the war? I wish Rather would make tell allk story before it's too late. Once all the candidates are in an all volunteer period we will loose that important puzzle piece. Who was wealthy, who had political pull, who volunteered, who went after deferments, injuries to get out and conscientious objection where there consequences. |
Dan Rather is a blatant liar, past and present. The only liar worst then this sh*tbird is Killary Clinton.
And for that dummie that posted that Rather just "stretched the truth a little" you have to be kidding. He got fired because it was even too much for the liberals. |

Dan Rather is a disrespectful white trash piece of garbage. His opinion on anything is to be discounted totally.

Dan Rather politically pushed out well respected Walter Cronkite well before Walter wished to retire . Rather convinced the brass at CBS that he was heading into his prime and that he would leave if he didn`t get Walter`s seat .
Eventually it became Rather`s time to go and in an effort to hang on he became involved in the scandal that placed him in the exit lane . Dan was never close to being the newsman that Cronkite was . Rather was a local reporter for the CBS affiliate in Dallas when the JFK assassination took place . This gave him instant exposure on CBS at a time when there were only the 3 major networks . Rather rode this event to a national assignment covering the White House and made his " bones " during Watergate . However the inside story was that he was extremely political and would stop at nothing to enhance his reputation . Eventually it all caught up with him by his own hand . |

Hailed as "the most trusted man in America" during his 18 years as anchor of the "CBS Evening News," Walter Cronkite first gained national recognition for his reporting from the battlefields of World War II. As a United Press correspondent, Cronkite covered the landings in North Africa and Sicily, the Allied invasion of Normandy and the subsequent battles across France and Germany. He was also a member of the "Writing 69th," a group of intrepid reporters that accompanied Allied bombers on missions over Germany. In 1968, while anchor of the "CBS Evening News," Cronkite journeyed to Vietnam to report on the aftermath of the Tet offensive. In a dramatic departure from the traditions of "objective" journalism, Cronkite concluded his reports with a personal commentary in which he voiced his strong belief that the war would end in stalemate. Cronkite's editorial would later be regarded as a critical indice of public opinion of the Vietnam War. Reporting America at War . The Reporters .

There was a time when journalists took pride in their work, would investigate a story and tell the truth because their word was their bond. Not so much anymore. These days, as Prof. Glen Reynolds likes to say, "Journalists are Democratic operatives with by lines. Dan Rather put forward a story he knew to be false in order to advance a political agenda. He is a dishonorable man and has no standing criticizing Donald Trump. |
