Everything you need to know about Dan Rather can be found in this animation of the ‘Killian Memo’, purportedly from the Vietnam War, compared with a Microsoft Word document, that ended his career.
Dan Rather reverted to playing George Clooney’s idea of a fictional crusading liberal journalist and eventually the media, which by then had fewer standards than a zombie in a funeral parlor, embraced him as the prototype of a serious journalist, by which they meant, speaking out against Republicans.
Now Dan’s not so happy about the CBS sale/merger and Bari Weiss taking on an editorial role at CBS News.
Rather claimed that it “is a dark day in the halls of CBS News, where the portraits of television news pioneers once hung — Cronkite, Murrow, Sevareid, Collingwood. They were journalists who made television a trusted source of information. Whom and what are we to believe today?”
Definitely not Dan Rather. The Killian Memo was a decisive blow to the credibility of the network newscast.

Bari Weiss had a Substack which just sold for $150 million. Dan Rather has a Substack that no one cares about.
"Whom and what are we to believe today?” Not Dan Rather.
Posted about our favorite reporter, who never saw a leftist lie that he did not parrot.

Fake but accurate.
Rather claimed that it “is a dark day in the halls of CBS News”, and, “if a frog had side-pockets, he’d carry a handgun there, it’s like a tornado went through a trailer park, yeah boy. Staffers are acting like people driving home from the beach with a sunburn and too-tight spandex swimsuits.”
What’s the frequency, Kenneth?
Dan’s as crazy as a bed bug, you know?
He’s in the museum of news now with Sam and she who must not be named.
Re “… Rather, who has a clear political agenda, claims that CBS News will be run by “someone with a clear political agenda.”
Typical retard liberal tactic… blame others for he actually does.
He deserves to be trashed.
