Raising eyebrows among some critics, former CBS anchor Dan Rather is now teaching an online course focused on ethics in journalism. Called “Journalism & Finding the Truth in the News” and offered through Udemy, the class is aimed at both media career aspirants and the general public.

CNN REPORTER AMBUSHES BLACK TRUMP SUPPORTER— GETS SCHOOLED! A CNN reporter ambushed black Trump supporter “Kenneth” outside the RNC in Cleveland. The CNN crank accused Trump of racism because some white supremacists who he disavowed support him. Kenneth let him have it! Kenneth the Trump supporter: I’m out here making sure I express my support for Mr. Donald J. Trump. And I’m fighting back against people like Black Lives Matter which CNN supports along with the Hillary Clinton foundation and Bill Clinton foundation, the traitors to this country. CNN reporter: What do you think of the fact that the white...

Robert Redford has signed on to play Dan Rather in Truth, a film based on the 2005 memoir Truth and Duty: The Press, the President, and the Privilege of Power. The book, written by Rather's producer Mary Mapes, centers on the firestorm that erupted in September of 2004 after Rather reported that George W. Bush had received special treatment while serving in the Air National Guard during the Vietnam War, a report that was based on documents that turned out to be forgeries. - See more at: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/robert-redford-play-dan-rather-717476#sthash.Y0QB620e.dpuf

Dan Rather: 'The Republicans Must Be Slapping High Five Behind Closed Doors' By Noel Sheppard Created 05/16/2013 - 10:14am Dan Rather said something on MSNBC's Morning Joe Thursday that is likely giving liberal media members across the fruited plain serious heartburn. In a discussion about the various scandals now plaguing the White House, Rather said, "The Republicans must be slapping high five behind closed doors" (video follows with transcript and commentary): MIKA BRZEZINSKI: Dan, you have experience with stories like these. Let’s just put it that way. And I just wonder in all your years how this one compares? DAN...

Former CBS News anchor Dan Rather was both funny and passionate when he addressed a packed house Thursday night at San Antonio College. Sounding a little choked up, he encouraged the audience of students and others to follow their dream, whatever that may be, because “by doing your heart's bidding, you can find a way to burn with the white hot flame that can make the difference between having a job and having a career, a life's work filled with joy and meaning.” However, his clearest message was a warning. Rather said that when it comes to the media, this...

RATHER: "That's in their political interest, that's what they'll be trying to do in 2012"

Dan Rather: GOPers ‘Seek to Cut Out President Obama’s Heart & Throw His Liver to the Dogs’ By Brad Wilmouth Created 11/21/2010 - 12:00pm By Brad Wilmouth | November 21, 2010 | 12:00 On Sunday’s syndicated Chris Matthews Show, panel member and former CBS anchor Dan Rather - currently with HDNET - made an over the top metaphor about the Republican Party wanting to "cut out President Obama’s heart and throw his liver to the dogs." The panel was having a discussion of the likelihood of gridlock, with substitute moderator Norah O’Donnell asking, "Isn’t there some pressure on the Republicans...

A 6th grade boy in the small town of Itasca, TX, about 40 miles south of Fort Worth and just north of Hillsboro TX off I-35, was ordered out of class and into in-school suspension after showing up on the first day of school because his hair is considered too long. The Itasca Middle School handbook outlines student conduct and behavior including a dress code which details length of hair for both boys and girls. Girls are allowed to have hair of any length; however, boys are not allowed to have hair longer than shoulder length. 12 year old Kenneth...

A New Jersey judge-cum-filmmaker has chosen to step down from the bench rather than abide by a dictum from state judicial authorities that he not publicize his satirical movie painting President Obama as a modern-day Faust. Kenneth Del Vecchio quit his North Arlington municipal court judgeship on May 3, the day the New Jersey Supreme Court's Advisory Committee on Extrajudicial Affairs directed that he should not be interviewed or participate in any press or publicity that may accompany the film, "O.B.A.M. Nude," which was to be released the next day. It was a letdown for Del Vecchio, who has been...

It’s absolutely amazing, but Dan Rather and his lawyers are actually planning to argue in their lawsuit against CBS that the phony memos are genuine. I’m going to say this again just to go on the record: the CBS “Killian” memos are frauds. It has been proven beyond all doubt. It is simply impossible that these documents were created on any machine available in the 1970s. And for Dan Rather to continue insisting they are genuine shows either: 1) a disconnection from reality that borders on the psychotic, or 2) a blatant liar willing to go down in flames rather...

In an extraordinary move that reflects the depth of his resentment toward his former network, Dan Rather sued CBS yesterday, charging that he was made a "scapegoat" for a discredited 2004 story about President Bush's National Guard record because CBS wanted to "pacify the White House." CBS management "coerced" the veteran news anchor "into publicly apologizing and taking personal blame for alleged journalistic errors in the broadcast," says the $70 million suit, which also names Sumner Redstone, chief executive of the network's then-parent company, Viacom; CBS Chairman Les Moonves; and former CBS News president Andrew Heyward.... Gold, Rather's lawyer, maintained...

Could it be possible? You can look at any state highway department of transportation website and see what current construction is going on. What if terrorist used that and set bombs off during the busy hour on a interstate, etc..? It could be covered up because people would think it's construction. Could it be possible? Thanks.

I admit it. I do not watch television, except for football on occasion. I don't watch news, I don't watch sitcoms. My wife watches a LOT of television. Oprah. ET. The Today Show. The last one is what did it for me. When she gets up in the morning, she puts on both televisions, tunes in to the Today Show, and turns the volume up so you can hear it anywhere in the house. So I can't really ignore it. A couple of years ago, they bashed Reagan for three days in a row (As I recall, this was the...

Absolutely True:" Rather Continues to Defend 60 Minutes TANG Story: Just moments ago on North Carolina's Morning News with Jack Boston on Raleigh-based News-Talk 680 WPTF, former CBS anchor Dan Rather defended the infamous 60 Minutes story using forged documents to attack President Bush's service with the Texas Air National Guard as being, "absolutely true," a charge a testy Rather reiterated at least four or five times. Rather not only defended the report, but the validity of the forged documentation that the report relied on, saying it had never been proven false (despite copious evidence to the contrary). I've contacted...

Ohio Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell won the Republican nomination for governor by edging out Attorney General Jim Petro. Democrats haven't produced an Ohio governor in 16 years.

Hillary Clinton went to an elementary school in Ithaca, New York to talk about the world. After her talk she asked for questions. One little boy put up his hand, and the senator asked his name. "Kenneth." "What is your question, Kenneth?" "I have three questions: First - What happened to your medical health care plan? Second - Why would you run for president after your husband shamed the office? Third - What happened to all those things you took when you left the White House?" Just then the bell rings for recess. Hilary told the kids that she will...

Incredible dialgue on Daily Show

The growing controversy over the Bush administration’s attempts to alter the perceived liberal bias in PBS programming has led one media insider to urge: Consider pulling the plug on the network. In his Media Matters column in the Los Angeles Times, David Shaw asks, "Do we really want or need PBS anymore?" Shaw points out that when PBS’s parent, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, was created in 1967, television was largely dominated by three commercial networks, while today we live in a "500-channel universe." "But politics, not the availability of more alternatives, is the primary reason to question the continued...
