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.

Lemme just say.....I STILL get a warm fuzzy feeling knowing that it was this board which brought that lying hack down 15 years ago.

Revile and hate on Dan Rather but know this: he’s been doing an outstanding job interviewing old rock stars on the cable’s AXS Channel. His knowledge of the genre and his ability to gauge his subjects shows that this is what he should have been doing all along.

If you believe a single word from fraudster Dan Blather , then you likely believe in the Folly Trinity of Fake News:
1) The Blather
2) The Bun
3) The Holy Boast
Recite 40 hail Barries and put some chump change in the Obama Donation Box.

The deep staters keep saying these absurd things, as if they are still going to have an impact.
To quote what Don Rickles used to say about aging actors: “It’s over.”

Cronkite, Huntley and Brinkley were just as bad as Rather.

They trot this guy out every now and again because to the millenials he has a long and storied connection to old style journalism. They were either too young or are too dumb to remember he got dumped because he was found to have dumped the values of true journalism (if he ever really held them) for the hope of a gotcha on Bush2. He is the poster no g for fake news!
