Dan Rather Enthusiastic About Atlantic Article on Trump

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Dan Rather, the former CBS anchor whose career ended because of a false story about President George W. Bush’s military service in 2004, tweeted several times in support of the Atlantic‘s story about President Donald Trump disparaging the troops.

The Atlantic alleged that Trump had called fallen American soldiers in the First World War “suckers” and “losers.” Its sources were anonymous, and nearly a dozen witnesses went on the record to dispute author Jeffrey Goldberg’s claims.

A subsequent report by Fox News’ Jennifer Griffin could not confirm the central allegation of the story, though she claimed — again, using anonymous sources — that some minor details in the Atlantic story were true, or had seemed plausible.

But Rather seemed convinced enough to tweet several times in support of the Atlantic story after it came out on Thursday:

[E. Pluribus Unum]

"Fake but accurate" rides again!

[The Antiyuppie]

Well, if Dan Rather endorses it...

That’s a Kiss of Death.

[a fool in paradise]

Dan Rather lost his career over his hoax.

The Atlantic propagandist deserves the same fate

[haircutter]

LOL...DAN RATHER..

89 YEARS OLD in Oct. 31...another old timer brain dead...smh

[faithhopecharity]

So the old liar is still around, eh? Gee, the DNC is super desperate ( pulling out all stops) to trot out such discredited old liars, Buttplug, kasick, mcshame’s daughter, old HilLIARy , hilliary’s daughter, and the rest of their ideological ignoramuses, fellow travelers, and mental ward escapees.

What’s the frequency Kenneth?

[TangoLimaSierra]

Hey, Dan, urine nidiot.

[dfwgator]

They didn't beat him up enough.

Jake Tapper “I heard from Jeb Bush and Kasich that Dan Rather has anonymous source information, and Michael Cohen can corroborate this, that the guy next to Rather at a party heard that Trump’s niece Mary knows this military story is gospel.”

Is that how Edward R. Murrow used to do it? Maybe not.

[TBP]

Well, that proves it’s false.

[ConservativeInPA]

I didn’t know Rather was still living. It about time this piece of schiff die and burn in hell.

"I think that you can be an honest person and lie about any number of things." -- Rather on The O'Reilly Factor, May 15, 2001.

“What’s the frequency, Kenneth?”

[Republican Wildcat]

“The documents are authentic.” - Dan Rather

[Texas Eagle]

Still not convinced. Maybe if Jayson Blair and Matt Lauer weigh in.

[shanover]

"I think that you can be an honest person and lie about any number of things."

I have never read that before. My god,that may sum up what we are up against.

[Calvin Locke]

He’s just looking to be relevant, as he was before people realized that he’s mostly a fraud.

Last I heard, Mark Cuban poached, er, gave him a berth, after CBS finally cut him loose.

[LegendHasIt]

Gee, Dan Raᵗʰer, Do you really ᵗʰink so ???

[jerod]

Dan Rather... The purveyor of truth as he sees it... No matter how many times he needs to make it up. Using the proper font for the proper time frame... Lessons learned from Dan Rather by a new generation of pseudo socialist hacks pretending to be journalist from the original phony newsman.

[Maudeen]

I didn’t realize he was still alive. I guess he wanted everyone to know he is among the living and is trying to be relevant . . .so sad.
