Didn’t Dan Ratherbiased go public with the word that JFK had passed away before he had confirmation of the fact?

First to break the story makes you famous.

Dan got caught doing what CBS always does.

Liberals always throw people under the bus because they have neither honor, nor loyaty.

Meanwhile AP had the same story about the National Guard memos and I don’t recall anyone losing their job or reputation over it.

Dan Rather has fallen further and faster than a North Korean missile test!

Good thing he was left out.

The hack would probably show up with letters proving Bush was behind it all along.

Dan Rather fabricated a report than Dallas schoolchildren cheered at the news of Kennedy's death. He was a scumbag from the start.

Dan Rather got his start right after the Kennedy assassination. CBS and others in the MSM wanted reports from Dallas describing Texans as violent, right wing Kennedy haters who were happy that Kennedy had been killed.

At one elementary school in Dallas, children were sent home early after the assassination but were not told why. The children cheered when told they were let out early.

CBS wanted to show the kids were cheering because they were glad JFK had been killed. No other local journalist would file such a dishonest story. So CBS reported it as a live feed with a young Texan reporting that children of Dallas were happy and cheering because Kennedy had been shot. That young Texan was an unknown reporter named Dan Rather.

From that point on Rather's career advanced rapidly and he showed again and again he would lie on the air whenever needed. He became the anchor of CBS Evening News about a decade later.

They disappeared Dorothy Kilgallen.

So Dan Rather is still alive. I wondered where he went after lying on 60 Minutes about Bush, and trying to influence an election.

Schieffer can be boring enough and goofy enough for two -- or three or ten -- codgers.

Plus I have a feeling Bill Moyers will be crashing this. Doris Kearns, too?

First reports that Kennedy is dead came from a local Dallas reporter.

"Setting my feelings aside about it, this is not a good idea to say we want to change the historical record so we're going to airbrush this guy out because we don't like him," Rather said. "They may want to control the way the public thinks about my record, but I'm pretty sure they have not been able to do that."

Irony.

It would seem Dan would fit right in with the current administration.

It’s sad that Rather has made so many enemies at his old station. He was linked to many historic interviews from back then. You can’t keep trashing your associates in public and expect glad-handing forever. He’s become the same ‘Skunk At The Picnic’ that Jimmy Carter usually is in any gathering of Presidents. Even Poppy Bush didn’t want Jimmy standing near hi

That’s beautiful. Hey Dan, remember when you offered to go knock down Mr. Zapruder and steal his film for CBS? Well, now your media pals are knocking you down and stealing your thunder.

Sweets to the sweet.
