Rather is the kind of reporter who makes up stories and then convinces himself they are true.
Agree. He’s delusional. Ignored everything the experts told him about those phoney “documents,” acted as though the fonts and spacing of modern word processors existed back in the era of the typewriter and generally kept bending reality to fit his fantasy. He even bent the language in his pitiful attempt to dignify his fairy tale. “Fake but accurate” has now entered the political lexicon forever, right along with Clinton’s “...depends what the meaning of ‘is’ is.”
