Dan Rather: Media Must Publicly Shame Donald Trump Supporters
Breitbart ^ | 8/10/2016 | Charlie Spiering

Posted on 08/10/2016 2:44:21 PM PDT by bkopto

Rather appeared horrified by Trump’s comment, struggling to explain his shock.

“By any objective analysis, this is a new low and unprecedented in the history of American presidential politics,” he said.

Rather challenged the media to hold Trump accountable for his words, urging them to do more to try to shame his supporters.

“We will see whether major newscasts explain how grave and unprecedented this is and whether the headlines in tomorrow’s newspapers do it justice,” he said. “We will soon know whether anyone who has publicly supported Trump explains how they can continue to do.”

America must publicly shame those who try to shame Trump supporters.

The mask of objectivity has fallen off.

Hey Dan, the media’s lack of being bipartisan is why you don’t have a job, you low life POS.

Yes, ridicule is a powerful weapon.

We must learn to use it.

Trump is the only politician using ridicule, so he comes as crass. The problem is we don’t have practice like they do, so we don’t come through as smooth or as reasoned or as practiced.

Thank you Dan, we will use what you suggest against all of you.

What a crock. Rather is the sleaziest of journalists and has no moral authority to comment on this regardless of what one might think of Trumps remarks.

What The Donald should have done is directly quote Jefferson about watering the tree of liberty.

Remember, the Second Amendment was written with traitors like Obama and Clinton in mind.

Sounds like he is suggesting that the media create the news, instead of reporting the news... or did I misunderstand him?

We’re already ashamed of Rather’s president and party.

Rather is certainly the king of public shaming. He ought to remember something about living in a glass house.

So a an actual criminal selling State Dept and White House access for Clinton family funds - an event that was actually REVEALED because her emails were open to the public because Clinton feared government-access and records of HER OFFICIAL emails and conversations - IS OK in Dan Rather’s unbiased media world, but a left-wing hyped did-not-happen-event is horrible, eh?

Well, that statement is spot on if we are talking about the things Dan Rather has done throughout his career.
