Dan Rather is still alive?
I honestly thought Dan Rather died.
I was right.
Dan Rather wrote this without a sense of irony? /rhetorical
The insurrection was fake but accurate.
Yup
I’m sure that ol’ Dan would just love to hear from some Freepers!
Buckhead. One of the greatest days of my life...
It’s not the press. Big media is de facto run by the state. If you want to undermine, overthrow or destabilize a country, first thing needs to be done is gain control of the media.
He sees his side devolving into tribalism which will consume it, and if we're not careful, it will consume all of us.
He was part of the problem that got us into this position, and if he wasn't arrogant enough to attempt to toss a memo into the race, a memo that no military person I've ever worked with or seen would create (CYA memo my ass) that somehow fit directly into accusations about Bush's past and corroborated those outrageous claims, their side might have had a chance to win that time, but he got busted and tossed out on his ass.
It's done right here about every minute or so.
Buckhead. Who is actually a Georgia attorney defending one of Trump’s co-defendants in the Fani Willis case right now. There is video circulating of the highly effective argument he made for dismissal last Friday.
SOMETHING to get off your chest? That sir, is a 10 year old boy!
I’d Rather not.
I’d rather not.
“it has been frustrating to watch how the press covers politics these days”

So step back, take a deep breath, and seriously ask yourself, “Why am I watching this?”. Seriously, no joke.
I stopped reading and watching any Deep State media many years ago. It’s very freeing.
Also, don’t you understand by now that your reaction is EXACTLY what they are trying to elicit? They WANT to point to your reaction, just like they were cruelly teasing their little brother, and laugh, and say, “Ha ha! What a sap! Got him again! Can’t wait to do it tomorrow!”
You are being used. Don’t let them use you.
You refer to FReeper Buckhead. Who hasn’t posted since 2015 IIRC, I looked at that account a few days ago.
I read that post within 30 minutes of it being made, and knew *INSTANTLY* that he had nailed it. The technology to produce the memo Rather was using to attack Dubya simply didn’t exist commonly on the date on the memo, it was a complete anachronism, obviously fake. State of the art at that date was a fixed pitch IBM Selectric typewriter with a ball, and the memo had complete desktop publishing level kerning (variable letter spacing).
Then someone recreated the complete memo using default setting on the then-current version of Microsoft Word. It still took a long time before the Left would accept reality, but it *did* eventually come to pass that most of them came to accept that what Rather and 60 Minutes were presenting was a complete fake, and Rather was pushed out at CBS.
Democracy under siege, like when unelected people remove candidates from the ballot without due process? Or when the government tells private companies what content to remove from their platforms? Arresting journalists for reporting on events unflattering to the establishment? Lying about the nature and purpose of proposed legislation?
Apparently Rather has no sense of irony. Nor shame. What’s the frequency, Kenneth?!
Fake but accurate.
