Didn't dan rather do a hit piece on him in the 80's and rather was proven wrong.
The show you are all referring to is "The Uncounted Enemy: A Vietnam Deception." That story was forced on me in an unpleasant way.
C.I.A. agent Sam Adams was the person who was the biggest advocate of the theory that military was intentionally undercounting the number of enemy soldiers. He proved to be one of the main, if not the main, source for the show.
Anyway, Adams' son went to the same high school as me. Sam Adams came in and gave a lecture, and the entire school watched a tape of "The Uncounted Enemy." The school was very left-wing, and we all booed William Westmoreland.
We cheered on Adams, but there was a lot that was questionable about him. He admitted the show used tricks and distortions, and he didn't seem to have a problem with that. He had no hard evidence for his charges.
Anyway, it was one of the first times that questions in my mind arose about liberalism, and you see where the thought process led me. That show set out to smear Westmoreland. I hope no one gives it an ounce of credibility on this date when we mourn Westmoreland. I'm sure my fellow freepers don't give it any credibility!
Who's Dan Rather?
Dan Rather will be judged as the most inaccurate, biased lame brain reporter in American history.
