Is the number too low Dan?

No I did not read the article.

[Da Coyote]

Not only does Dan not know the frequency, he cannot even spell it.

[MeganC]

I lament the fact that 50% of Americans believe whatever the hell the media tells them.

[TangledUpInBlue]

Me either, but that was my first sentiment. ONLY 50%?

[bagster]

Then maybe you should stop making things up, genius.

[MeganC]

Ping since the article indirectly mentions you

[Fido969]

Fake but accurate!

[Trillian]

He’s making this up. It’s a lot more than that.

[Hyman Roth]

Maybe there is a reason for the mistrust Gunga Dan.

[JenB987]

Dan Rather would know a thing or two about making shit up.

[OttawaFreeper]

Well, at least the National Enquirer admits to making up material from time to time. But they covered John Edwards’ indiscretions long before Dan’s colleagues could be bothered to do so.

[Army Air Corps]

Well, Dan, when you consistently lie to people, they tend to distrust you. Fly-by-night used car salesmen have more credibility than you and your cohorts.

[NEMDF]

Exactly.

[SkyDancer]

And you’re the reason for the other 50% not believing.

[Gil4]

And the other half of people KNOW the media make up stories.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Dude! You’re one of the ‘stalwarts’ that started it!

[Yosemitest]

Let us NEVER FORGET Dan Rather's actions !
Dan Rather is one of the MAIN REASONS more and more people KNOW that the LIBERAL STREAM MEDIA can NOT be trusted to tell the truth any longer ! :

" ... Dan Rather’s CBS fraudulent memos are the maliciously contrived myths embedded in those fraudulent memos.
The hoax exposé (below) demostrates that the content of Dan Rather’s memos was fraudulent.
Left-Wing Media (LWM) treachery, deception and distortion laid a solid foundation for Dan Rather’s CBS 60 Minutes fabricated story and fraudulent memos.
Prior to Election 2004, communications generated by “credentialed media” misled the American people about GWB’s ANG record.
As you read the hoaxes perpetrated by LWM against the American people, appreciate that these hoaxes were contrived from interwoven myths forged via repetition (by LWM, Democrat National Committee [Terry McAuliffe], Kerry’s Campaign, Left-Wing 527s and finally, Dan Rather’s 60 Minutes).
The purpose of these hoaxes was to defeat President Bush in Election 2004 and restore the Democrat Party to power. ... "

[ifinnegan]

Ha.

Rather did it. And he got caught (by buck head here) and fired (which I thought wouldn’t happen).

And just now in Japan they’ve doctored recordings of Trump feeding fish and talking about the Japanese car industry to present overtly false narratives.

[Gargantua]

Don't they mean, "Disgraced former newsman, Dan Rather..."?
