This accusation of lying from Dan “False but Accurate” Rather is as outrageous as Brian Wilson worrying about “fake news.” TV news readers should realize that no intelligent viewer believes anything they say.

To liberals Dan Rather is an example of excellence in journalism. He'll get another award for this.

this is a gut check moment for the press.
“Gut check moment for the press” has been and gone. "The press” flopped miserably, showing itself as nothing other than an adjunct of the DNC. It is now the time of free and independent presses.

It is arrogant to claim objectivity. Now is the time for the journalist who will actually try to be objective - and claim nothing more than that. The journalist who claims actual objectivity cannot be candid about the reasons why he actually might not be objective - and thus, in good faith, cannot even be trying to be objective. Let alone be an exemplar of objectivity.

Today, Rather is no more than obscure fool desperately trying to appear relevant...which he is not.

Dan doesn’t seem to get that something isn’t a lie because HE says it’s a lie.

Proof, Dano - no more ‘it’s not the nature of the evidence but the seriousness of the charge’. Those days are past.

What “lies”? That Obamacare is a total and rapidly collapsing social experiment gone wrong? The southern border with Mexico is undefended? That prisoners being released from Gitmo are still dangerous and are quickly returning to the battlefield in the Middle East? That ISIS presents a real and present danger to the realm known as “the United States of America”? That the present structure of the tax policy is unfair? That corporations cannot be pressured to work in the interests of America, rather than to the advantage of foreign governments? That our military is poorly prepared to undertake the commitments being placed upon it around the world? That some of those commitments are just WRONG as of January, 2017?

That the swamp in Washington NEEDS to be drained?

Dan Rather, all that’s bad about “news” and why nobody trusts these jokers.

As the bastion of liberal honesty, tell us exactly what these Trump lies are, Dan.

He is falling back on his impossible premise: “An Honest people can lie about many things.”

Rather is a liar and a loser. Here he tries to ride in heroically on a three legged horse so that maybe the liberal left will throw the white mantel of acceptance over his slumped shoulders once again.

History repeats itself, first as tragedy and then as farce.

‘Demonstrable Lies’. Dan Rather’s need to feel relevant after his arrogant and demonstrably false political attack is pathetic. Like a bully who insists on being a bully even after he’s been beat into the ground by the likes of Buckhead.

So Rather is expounding on “lies”, and Brian Williams was scolding about “fake news”. I guess that irony is a concept the libs haven’t figured out yet.

Isn’t this the chronic liar who said he was a “former Marine” when in actuality he was cashiered out of boot camp because of some serious inadequacy? What an idiot, liar and lunatic. On the plus side, he’s quite old...so you know what that means.
