Even more scandalous than Rathergate was the suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop in 2020, involving a successful collaboration by the media, the DOJ, the FBI, the CIA, Facebook, Twitter, and Biden campaign officials. This would make a great movie, but Hollywood will never produce it.

Yes.

Unfortunately for the citizens of America and the Free World, MSM’s reporting has only gotten worse since Rathergate.

I remember that day. I was watching Free Republic, and witnessed several magnificent Freepers debunk Dan Rather/60 Minutes in real time. It was a BEAUTIFUL thing to behold!!

And Bush is supporting Harris in 2024.

And Bush is supporting Harris in 2024

Supporting? How?

I used to have a Word document that I overlaid on the fake one. It was practically a perfect match.

This is the money quote: “CBS, Rather and the left clung to their story as long as they could. They even invented the “fake but accurate” standard to defend the forged documents.”
Almost everything we see, hear or read is “Fake” - the accuracy moniker is highly questionable. It was then, it certainly is now.

This is an amazing account of the horrid events of that day. https://youtu.be/oJnoFA0u2Eg?si=NZXTn1WS9j2yf22Z

Just recalling rather as a lying liar who lied ought to suffice.

I was here!

I was still lurking, but read many of the threads about it and joined the following month.

Breaking news?

Wow...

[dodger]

Me too!

(“I was here!”)

[DBrow]

“Buckhead!”

And TankerKC, or is it KCTanker?

I joined FR that week in 2004. I knew this was the place for me. :)

20 Years later! OMG!

[Blood of Tyrants]

That looks like it but I didn’t gif it. Thanks.

One can scroll down this list to September 2004 for some FR articles about Rathergate...

I remember that one. Secret email list only certain people were on to coordinate talking points. I’m almost positive a new one exists today. It isn’t a coincidence so many MSM outlets all print/report the same talking points.
