Dan Rather schooled on Twitter for wondering ‘what is going on’ with CNN: ‘Gone full MAGA’
Fox news ^ | 09/03/2022 | Gabrielle Reyes

Twitter users swarmed disgraced former CBS anchor Dan Rather's tweet which expressed confusion at the recent tonal shift in CNN’s reporting.

The newsman and liberal commentator tweeted that something is "going on" at the network on Friday and generated a wave of concern from liberals (and mockery from conservatives) that the network is abandoning the partisan political bent in its reporting.

Rather may have noticed, as did many other liberals on Twitter, the two CNN reporters who rebuked Biden’s political "MAGA Republican" speech for employing the U.S. Marines in its presentation.

For many liberals this was another concrete sign that CNN had begun its much talked about lurch away from partisan, left-wing politics that the network’s new boss has been seeking.

CNN Has not changed one bit. I think due to their awful ratings they are dumping some of their established high salaried people. They remain worthless rat propagandists.

Malone is a conservative who is committed to making CNN an actual news organization again

Does anyone even know what that looks like anymore? Ever since the election we have listened to NewsMax, but they are so caught up in their own version of fair and balanced that they forget that sometimes facts take you just one place. It's sort of like listening to a debate between Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz and Cinderalla. It may be fair and balanced but it has nothing to do with reality. For instance, they just don't get the whole Ukraine thing at all. They portray it as a simple tale of good vs evil rather than a modern day gangland war between a bunch of mafia families.

I’ve got an idea. Let’s sell shares in a new network news organization to push woke, socio-fascist ideology. We should be able to get Dan Rather to get behind us and help with the IPO.

Last time someone tried that trick, they had to sell out to the Muzzis. Much cheaper to just subvert an existing network to use as a propaganda vehicle. Example, Fox News.

Pretty soon they’ll be to the right of Fox.
Not because CNN is going right, but because Fox is exposing their true leftist bent.

Who would ever listen to anything that Dan Rather, the king of fake news, ever wrote or said?

Rather’s comment is awesome. It is yet another illustration of how the left considers anyone who does not toe their line completely to be “MAGA”, and treasonous insurrections. The argument that they just mean a few January 6 types is bogus.

I would laugh my azz off if CNN, recognizing that Fox has tilted left, went to the right of them and became Conservative News Network.

Is this the same CNN that adjusted the color from the hellfire/V for Vendetta/Nazi flag red to a calming pink at Biden's Nuremberg rally?

You make excellent points. This notion of “balance” in reporting viewpoints is fine when the issue being discussed is one that lends itself mostly to subjective opinion. If you’re discussing what the best flavor of ice cream is, then it makes perfect sense to give equal time to various points of view (even though chocolate is indisputably the best). But if you’re discussing an objective fact, such as what the product of 2+2 is, then it makes no sense to give equal time to someone who says it is 4, and someone who says it’s 5.

The key is being able to discern opinion from fact. That seems to be a rare skill in today’s postmodern “truth is relative” society.

What’s the frequency, Kenneth?

You know that they finally figured out what that was all about, didn't you?   That guy was Dan Rather's new Soviet handler making contact with him but he said the code phrase, "What’s the frequency, Kenneth?", right there on the street and it freaked Dan Rather out for fear that some passerby would be on to them, so he didn't reply with the response phrase, "Five times a day and twice on Sunday, Ivan."
