NEW YORK — Dan Rather returned to the CBS News airwaves for the first time since his bitter exit 18 years ago, appearing in a reflective interview on “CBS Sunday Morning” days before the debut of a Netflix documentary on the 92-year-old newsman’s life.
After 44 years at the network, 24 as anchor of the “CBS Evening News,” Rather left under a cloud following a botched investigation into then-President George W. Bush’s military record. Rather signed off as anchor for the last time on March 9, 2005, and exited the network when his contract ended 15 months later.

I remember doing our Freeper bit to get that guy fired. One of the prouder moments of my life. 😁
Now they’re trying to rehabilitate him again?
Worried they can’t win so bring on the big leftists.
old and white is cool now.
Dan Blather is sorry he got caught
F&U Dan Blather.
Peak FR was exposing this Douche.
Let’s not forget it was one of our own that booted Rather......a Freeper.
He’s been involved in the Fani Willis case, lately.
The initial analysis appeared in FR posts by “Buckhead”, a FR username of Harry W. MacDougald, an Atlanta attorney who had worked for conservative groups such as the Federalist Society and the Southeastern Legal Foundation, and who had helped draft the petition to the Arkansas Supreme Court for the disbarment of President Bill Clinton.
MacDougald questioned the validity of the documents on the basis of their typography, writing that the memos were “in a proportionally spaced font, probably Palatino or Times New Roman”, and alleging that this was an anachronism: “I am saying these documents are forgeries, run through a copier for 15 generations to make them look old. This should be pursued aggressively.”
By the following day, questions about the authenticity of the documents were being publicized by the Drudge Report, which linked to the analysis at the Powerline blog in the mid-afternoon, and the story was covered on the website of the magazine The Weekly Standard[62][63] and broke into mass media outlets, including the Associated Press and the major television news networks.
It also was receiving serious attention from conservative writers such as National Review Online’s Jim Geraghty. By the afternoon of September 9, Charles Foster Johnson of Little Green Footballs had posted his attempt to recreate one of the documents using Microsoft Word with the default settings.
The September 9 edition of ABC’s Nightline made mention of the controversy, along with an article on the ABC News website.
Now he can say he is no worse than anybody else.
I thought this Bozo was finished!
Start of the famous hoaxes the libs started. They keep trying…
For now. FR is headed toward another peak when Trump wins in November.
Funny and almost uncanny how people who are forgotten but not gone are speaking out. Hillary’s eunuch Kaine. Self serving John Dean. Now Dan “What the Frequency, Kenneth” Rather.
He’s probably as daft as Biden. Why bother? Nobody under 40 knows who is or was. Go away, Dan....far away and retire for good.
“What’s the frequency, Kenneth?”
Wow. Eighteen years? I remember listening to Rush the day all hell broke loose re Buckhead on FR. Sitting outside of the Kaiser hospital in Woodland Hills. There are some days you just can’t forget.
Groundhog shows his shadow: at least 6 more years of treasury printing.
Dumb-ass Dan’s next foray into hard-hitting journalism will be a newly discovered document trove where it is proved Trump stole the NYC tower bearing his name from a hard-working family of Palestinians.
Hopefully they’ll send him to Chicago for the Democratic Convention.
