“I felt a shudder down my spine yesterday watching Donald Trump's fusilade against the press. This is not a moment to be trifled with. It wasn't his first tirade and it won't be his last,” the former CBS Evening News anchor said in a seven-paragraph post, which has already been shared more than 12,000 times.

Rather went on to decry the “dirty, nasty election” and warn of "violence" if Trump is left unchecked...

“We were promised we would never get a candidate who would fight back against us. We were promised we were the ones who would set the agenda and run the show!”

Is that the same as a tingle up his leg?

Says the press member who lost his job for lying. People like you are the reason Donald Trump went off on the press, Dan.

Disgraced Dan speaks.

From the asshole who when the bureau chief in Saigon, when accused of being a Communist sympathizer, said, “I may be a Communist, but as long as I am bureau chief, America will only see this war the way I want them to see it!”.

The accuser was my late Dad.

Sugar’s gonna feel a boot up his backside too.

"Is that the same as a tingle up his leg?"

Diametrically opposed. Excitement vs. fear -- for journalists.

Just when you thought that the arrogance of these people could go no further comes a remark like this from The Dan. Bernard Goldberg’s book “Bias” does not paint a particularly pleasant portrait of The Dan up close and personal. Basically someone who can really be a nice person and come up to you during the staff Christmas party and express his appreciation for you being part of the team and that can mean a lot to you, but if you dared to cross him like Goldberg learned the hard way, he could be very ruthless and cold in the way he’d deal with such people.
