The truth behind Dan Rather’s exit from CBS
NY Post ^ | July 21, 2015 | Cindy Adams

Dan Rather is coming to your local movie theater. At least the story behind why he’s no longer at CBS is. In “Truth,” Robert Redford plays Rather. Cate Blanchett plays his CBS producer Mary Mapes.

They call the movie "Truth?" Redford plays Rather? LOL ... this is just sick. Freakin' Libs wouldn't know the truth if it jumped up and bit them in the arse.

Fired (technically) for lying and he participates in a movie about it called “truth”?

Liberals have no shame.

I can picture them dragging him away in a straight jacket mumbling “Bush.... National Guard... I know its true... you gotta believe me”

I have a copy of Bernard Goldberg’s book “Bias”. In it (and remember, it was written a while before the Docugate scandal that got Dan shown the door), there is a very disturbing portrait of what it was really like to deal with Rather on an up close and personal level. He could be a very generous and nice person but very extremely nasty and ruthless towards anyone who crossed his path (and this is how he reacted towards Goldberg’s 1996 groundbreaking piece in the Wall Street Journal about concerns about liberal bias in the mainstream press). I would not hold my breath to see this sort of thing be depicted in the movie.

Absolutely delusional. Rather has also seemingly forgotten that his story wasn’t about Bush being in the Air Guard. It was about him being “AWOL” from the Guard and was based solely on fraudulent evidence.

Liberals do this when the truth conflicts with their wishes.

Case in point: Sorkin’s excreble West Wing show. It’s what they wished Bill Clinton was.

Having said that, I’m proud of the part that FR played in Rather’s demise, and grateful to Jim Thompson for this forum.

They’ll show this film over and over in government schools so the kids will learn the real truth*. Wonder if FR, Buckhead, and KC Tanker will be in it?

*Like they do with Supersize Me and Fahrenheit 911 and Bowling for Columbine

Sounds like McCain.... He fights conservatives “like the enemy in a war” ... But buddies up to liberals as friends.
