Gunga Dan is still quite the Hollyweird hero!

So, is Free Republic going to have a role in the movie?

[mkjessup]

Dan Rather was (and remains) to ethical and responsible journalism what flesh eating disease is to a healthy human body.

And that goes for the rest of his liberal unintelligentsia fellow travelers too.

[GraceG]

Well because their modis operandi is to re-write history.

Courage.

Dan Rather approved dan rather movie, what else do you expect?

[headstamp 2]

Redford is pathetic.

“Truth” makes it appear that the documents’ contents were verified by a senior officer in Bush’s unit, Gen. Bobby Hodges. Mapes is seen reading the documents over the phone to him, and Hodges agrees that they accurately reflected the mindset of Bush’s late commander, Lt. Col. Jerry Killian, whose signature is on the documents.

That, in reality, did not happen

Fake, but accurate.

Only the most mentally retarded liberals will spend a nickel to re-live Rather and Maples fantasy...

[Fantasywriter]

Nobody better pretend to be shocked at this. This is ‘How Liberals Operate 101.’

The question remains; did old man Bush get favors to get his son into the TX Air National Guard to avoid Nam?

[originalbuckeye]

The Entertainment Industry always creates THEIR perfect world in movies and on TV. Just like the West Wing when Bush was President, Libs live through their tough times by pretending the world really agrees with them. Sadly, a lot of LIVs will think they are telling the truth because the LIVs invest their emotion in movies and TV. If Hollywood makes a movie about it and changes the narrative, well then Hollywood must be telling the truth. Pathetic.

I have free movie tickets that we haven’t used in 6 months. They may be sitting around unused for another 6 months.

"I believe you can be an honest person and lie about any number of things." -- Dan Rather on The O'Reilly Factor, May 15, 2001

The clearest proof that the documents are fake is to ask someone to open MS Word on their PC and type the following three lines:
147th
147th
147 th

Note the space between the 7 and the t on the last line. The default operation in MS Word is to superscript the th on the first two lines, and leave it normal font on the third line.

The forged document had the same three instances in the document, naming Bush's Fighter Interceptor Wing. Two were superscripted, while the third wasn't. There is no typewriter in existence at the time the document was written that could replicate that.

Some zealots are claiming the IBM Selectric could. It would require replacing the ball, and manually moving the roll to type the 'th' between lines. It is not possible to do that and get the precise spacing between the lines. Anyone who might attempt that would not leave the third instance normal.

[wildbill]

Kenneth, what is the frequency of lies in this movie?

[TBP]

Liberals/progressives are impervious to evidence. If the facts contradict their narrow little ideology, then the facts are WRONG!

What progressives (lefties) believe about “truth”:

1. “You can lie about any number of things and still be considered an honest person.”
2. Truth is whatever serves The party.
3. If you repeat something often enough, it becomes true.
