Dan Rather, the former CBS anchor whose career ended because of a false story about President George W. Bushs military service in 2004, tweeted several times in support of the Atlantics 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 Goldbergs 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:

Dan Rather lost his career over his hoax.
The Atlantic propagandist deserves the same fate

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, mcshames daughter, old HilLIARy , hilliarys daughter, and the rest of their ideological ignoramuses, fellow travelers, and mental ward escapees.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
