I am posting this again on the 17th anniversary of CBS's fraudulent "60 Minutes" broadcast.
Freepers played an important role in this story.

Well, the whole affair was lower than a snake's belly at the bottom of a dry Texas well on a parched desert flatland.

“I am posting this again on the 17th anniversary of CBS’s fraudulent “60 Minutes” broadcast. Freepers played an important role in this story.”
Wow, didn’t know that. For me, even though I knew that the news was biased and especially biased by omission. For example, how many here know what protest had the largest number of arrests since the anti-war protests of the Vietnam era and still to date (and no, nothing recent)? Hint, it was spiked, which is why no one here knows...but feel free to guess.
But when CBS didn’t immediately APOLOGIZE to Bush for running the fake story, it was clear that they now considered themselves to be ‘players’ and all remaining pretense of objectivity was gone. And its only gotten worse...now to the point that half of the country doesn’t believe a damn thing they say...and shouldn’t.

He was a POS journalist during Vietnam. Same as Cronkite.

I thought they did some Netflix special and tried to say that Dan Rather and the democrats had the story right all along.
Joseph Stalin and Joesph Goebbels would be proud of Dan Rather.
To: T Ruth
Was that the one they called “fake but accurate”?

And that piece of sh*t Rather still clings to it to this day.
When asked about it recently, he said “We got to the truth, but we paid a high price”
No, kennth, you didn’t get to the truth it was 100% fake and you knew it,... the price you paid was getting fired for it because you deserved it.

The only person who managed to expose the fake news media was Trump. He “got” this article better than anyone.

Hail, Buckhead!I remember watching it happen in real time on a paid computer in the lobby of the San Diego King's Inn. I had to keep dropping in quarters like a pay phone.

I remember at the time I believed the exposure of this outright MSM fraud would force them to reconsider their role in political reporting, foolishly thinking they would become less biased due to embarrassment, if nothing else.
Boy, was I wrong.
To: WKUHilltopper
What’s the frequency, Kenneth? BINGO! Something else I remember about ol' Dan occurred during the Republican 'red wave' congressional election in 1994. Late in the evening, when it was obvious the D@mocrats were having their hats handed to them, a rather tired Dan Rather stated on national tv (quoting from memory), "I can't believe we're losing!"
But according to Danny Boy (AKA "Kenneth" ;^), the media is NOT biased, and Dan's 'Job #1' was "speaking truth to power". SeeBS should have offered free barf bags to anyone who watched the guy...
