During an appearance on CNN's Reliable Sources Sunday, disgraced CBS Evening News anchor Dan Rather did his best to excuse the criticism of CNBC’s Republican presidential debate and instead chose to blame Republicans for fueling such hatred towards the press.

While Rather briefly admitted that CNBC"didn’t do it perfectly" the liberal journalist quickly blamed the GOP presidential candidates whose "constituency loves attacks on the press. So the moderators open themselves to some criticism." -

Rather continued to dismiss the substance of the criticism against CNBC's biased debate and argued that it was just a made up issue by conservatives:

Is Mary Mapes hanging paper again?

[Mr. K]

Dan was beaten up by a psycho who thought Dan was transmitting thought waves to his brain. While he was pummeling him he kept asking “what’s the frequency, Kenneth?”

Hilarity ensued. (I love it when hilarity ensues)

[CPT Clay]

Who is Dan Rather? Why should we care?

...and he says he has the documents to prove it!

[Republican Wildcat]

You really can’t...the comedy writes itself (or types itself as the case may be)

[The Antiyuppie]

How many Depends do you think he went through (uh...so to speak) during the interview?

Frankly, I really don’t care if he thinks that aliens are stealing his luggage.

In other news, the Film “Truth” (LOL) made LESS than One Million Dollars in its first Weekend of Wide Release.

No, we don’t LOVE to attack the press. But we HATE the attacks of the press and have every right to stand up for ourselves. In fact, we have a duty to do so since it affects voters and their right to choose their candidates without being manipulated by the media and thereby robbed of their voting rights, in a way.

A Ra^ther biased assessment...

Dan Rather ejected from Marine Boot Camp for bed-wetting:

Hurry up and assume room temperature, you lying old fool.

Just adding to his “fake but accurate” memoirs....

[ballplayer]

Yes of course,those Republicans need to learn their place and respect their betters

Blather should be sitting in the sunny room of the home drooling into his brandy; praying for a happy death.

Go away already!!!

That had to be the BLAST e-mail/fax that went out from DNC because I've heard the very same talking points from other liberal talking heads since then. Almost the same language too.

[WorkingClassFilth]

Years ago, some street lunatic in NYC assault Rather outside his swanky Park Ave. Hotel, screaming “What is the frequency, Kenneth?” Rather ran like a little girl and the doorman chased the bad man away. FReepers have been reliving that line for years (almost decades).

[Amagi]

When Dan completely disgraced himself in the phony National Guard letter caper the lame stream media circled the wagons to protect their lying lame stream colleague.
Doofus Dan is just playing it forward now that lame stream hacks at CNBC have irretrievably disgraced themselves.
Courage.
What's the frequency, Kenneth?
