Former CBS News anchor Dan Rather is teaching an online course in journalism called “finding the truth in the news” at UDemy. Now, he’s taken to Facebook to say that the media, the American people, and the political class has to call out President Trump on his lies. No, this isn’t the Onion.
“These are not normal times. These are extraordinary times. And extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures,” wrote Rather. “What can we do? We can all step up and say simply and without equivocation. "A lie, is a lie, is a lie!" And if someone won't say it, those of us who know that there is such a thing as the truth must do whatever is in our power to diminish the liar's malignant reach into our society,” he added.
Yeah, this is coming from a man who embroiled CBS in scandal for using unverified memos that offered an unflattering picture of President George W. Bush’s service in the Texas Air National Guard in 2004. Experts concluded that the memos were not authentic. And Rather soon was shown the door. So, while it’s obvious that we should call out the president, whoever that may be, for spreading falsehoods—it’s a bit absurd to take orders from Rather, a disseminator of fake news, on this subject.
The libtards have a lot of pent-up calling out stored up.
Because they haven’t done any calling out in the 8 years since George ‘Dubya’ Bush left office.
Aaaaaahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!
“You’ll save $2500 per year with Obamacare”
Crickets from Rather and his cronies. Their hypocrisy is disgusting.
Pot. Kettle. Black
You just can’t make this up

..only morons and libtards are allowed to register
What???? Seriously?????
But when I lie about a sitting president running for reelection, we have to give me a special award, ... for lying!
The irony
When Dan Rather lies, we just sweep it under the rug.
Whenever I see one of Dan Rather’s posts, I enjoy reminding why he was fired (in a very respectful manner), and suggesting that he go spend time with his grandkids.

Dan Rather = Father of Fake News
Nervy bastard aint he? Son of a bitch lied and was given an award for it. They are all scumbags.

The disgraced Dan Rather is on his lying @ss soap box preaching about lying? Mr. “fake but accurate documents?”
(Rolling on the floor laughing my @ss off, trying to get up off the floor but I can’t!).
LMAO, LMAO, Best! Election! Ever!
Wow! If anyone should just shut up about lying it’s Dan Rather.
Yep, Dan Rather was right on top of all of 0bama's lies.
Oh, wait.
I forgot about the Establishment and Media (but I repeat myself) double standard: completely ignore Democrat lies (indeed, amplify them), but become hysterically unhinged about alleged Republican ones...
NONE of these hissy fit MSM flakes called out Obama when he lied. And HE LIED more than he spoke the truth! PURE FRAUD.
I just remember how Obama could say anything and it was wonderful, Trump breathes and they call him on it.
