Both CNN and MSNBC rushed to put disgraced CBS News anchorman Dan Rather on the air Wednesday night, which underlines just how much their coverage of the impeachment inquiry is based on partisanship. What matters about journalism is your "heart was in the right place." Rather's liberal heart was on display as he sought to underline that "history" was going to be tough on Trump and his Republican defenders.

Rather actually told CNN's Don Lemon -- no laugh track provided -- that there are people out there who take the attitude "don't bother me with facts, I have my mind made up." The complete lack of introspection about his own "fake news" manufacturing about George W. Bush in 2004 is, sadly, typical.

Democrats think their feelings are enough to convict Trump.

If they only they made Prep H for their political butthurt.

Dan Rather reminds me of what a retired Coast Guard co-worker used to say about clueless people who had their head so far up their a$$e$ that they had to have a Plexiglas window installed in their lower abdomen so that they could see in a forward direction.

Clueless Dan is dragging a toilet paper tail out of the john.
