Ex-'CBS Evening News' anchor Dan Rather blasted President Trump Thursday, calling him the "biggest purveyor of fake news" amid Trump's ongoing feud with the media.
During his appearance on "The Dan Abrams Show" on Thursday, Rather admitted that journalists "make mistakes," but insisted that was different from "fake news."
....... Rather, 87, retired from CBS in 2005, months after airing unverified documents in a report about President George W. Bush’s service in the Texas Air National Guard prior to the 2004 election. He now makes frequent appearances on CNN and MSNBC.

Liberals are incapable of introspection. PERIOD.
They only know how to project and accuse their political opponents of anything and everything under the sun.

Conservatives are guilty of purveying "Fake News".
But good-hearted leftists like himself merely "make mistakes" like he did in Rathergate.
Spin spin spin spin spin....
He's spent his entire life spinning everything.
Spiders spin all the time too, but they're not stupid enough to trap themselves in the middle of their own webs.

Thank you! I knew what you meant.
It just came to me as I was thinking of the fact that so many MSM "journalists" seem like spiders to me.
Spiders à la Tolkien movies.

"... Grandfather of #FakeNews..."The "Grandrather of #FakeNews"? :-)
I think you can make a good case that Rather is "The Godfather of Fake News" - seeing as how there has never been before, or since, October 2004 such a spectacular failure in the "October Surprise" department as his incredible, self-immolating, fiasco turned out to be.
