Won’t matter now. Dead man tell no tales and the dishonest MSM have already canonized this guy as a paragon of virtue and courage.
Fortunately, it doesn’t really matter.
What's the frequency, Kenneth? What is it with crazies and Dan Rather?
What's the Frequency, Kenneth?
28 stinkin’ seconds.

“Kenneth, what is the frequency?”[edit]
On October 4, 1986, while walking along Park Avenue to his apartment in Manhattan, Rather was attacked and punched from behind by a man who demanded to know “Kenneth, what is the frequency?” while a second assailant chased and beat him. As the assailant pummeled and kicked Rather, he kept repeating the question. In describing the incident, Rather said, “I got mugged. Who understands these things? I didn’t and I don’t now. I didn’t make a lot of it at the time and I don’t now. I wish I knew who did it and why, but I have no idea.”[94] Until the crime was resolved years later, Rather’s description of the bizarre crime led some to doubt the veracity of his account,[95] although the doorman and building supervisor who rescued Rather fully confirmed his version of events.[94]
The assault remained unsolved for some time, and was referenced multiple times in popular culture. The phrase “What’s the frequency, Kenneth?” became a popular-culture reference over the years, such as in a scene in the graphic novel Like a Velvet Glove Cast in Iron by cartoonist Daniel Clowes. In 1994, the band R.E.M. released the song “What’s the Frequency, Kenneth?” on their album Monster. Rather later sang with R.E.M. during a sound check prior to a gig at New York’s Madison Square Garden, which was shown the following night on the Late Show with David Letterman before their performance of “Crush with Eyeliner”.

And in both cases, the motive was distrust and suspicion of the news media, said Dr. Park Dietz, a forensic psychiatrist who examined the man, William Tager, after the shooting of the stagehand, Campbell Theron Montgomery, 33. Dr. Dietz said in a telephone interview yesterday that Mr. Tager, serving a 121/2 - to 25-year sentence for manslaughter, believed that messages were being broadcast directly to him on the evening news.
We just came through 8 years of open and unabashed racism at the DOJ.
Impossible to care about what Sessions may or may not have said years and years ago
Dan Rather did seem to use crazies to help with his stories- was associated with that crazy guy in Afghanistan who made his own private “secret prison” and they were going to run with that story trying to smear Bush with it when the guy was caught and the plan fell through...Dan started backpeddling away from the guy really quick then.
This fruitcake is a judge? Good grief.
“believed “CBS Evening News” anchor Dan Rather was communicating with him through his television.”
That happened to me too, but then I changed the channel.
Me, too!
I kept asking “What’s the frequency?”, but Kenneth wouldn’t answer......
Hah!
Kenneth told me the frequency and I was able to block Dan Rather’s transmissions.
go figger

I went to the link and was unable to find any reference to “Rathergate,” his attempt to influence a presidential election by presenting forged documents as though they were legitimate.
