Surprise! Now Dan Rather Publishes 'Fake News' About Himself

http://mobile.wnd.com/2017/04/dan-rather-publishes-fake-news-about-himself/

Dan Rather, who famously quit his post as the anchor for “CBS Evening News” in 2004 after airing “fake news” about President George W. Bush, has been caught up in another episode.

This time it’s about his 2012 book, “Rather Outspoken: My Life in the News,” which features an image of Rather as a Marine.

Dan Rather as a "Marine" image appears several places online, credited with being provided by Dan Rather

Rather apparently supplied the image to the publisher, which shows him in Marine dress blues and the famous white saucer cap, with the caption, “As a young Marine.”

Only he wasn’t.

He washed out of boot camp while trying to become a Marine.

The story is explained in a document posted online by the blog MilitaryCorruption.com.

In the book, the blog explains, “the then 81-year-old liberal icon and disgraced former CBS anchorman didn’t say word one about the Corps in the text, but shockingly in the photos section, there was a headshot of a smiling, young Dan wearing Marine dress blues, including the famed white saucer cap, with the caption, ‘As a young Marine.’

I referenced that above. At the sub shop a couple nights ago, ran into a young guy about to head off to boot camp. I told him, you achieve the Globe and Anchor, you’ll be a Marine and that puts you ahead of lying Dan Rather (paraphrased).

I told him, at least that’s how I understand it from actual Marines. I wished him good luck and told him to watch himself in SoCal, nonetheless. (what with Kommiefornia protecting illegals with felony records).
