What a great night that was when Dan’s fake memos got torn apart on the Internet !!
What is Fox Nation?
“Uncle Walter”, the avowed leftwing socialist, was fake news before Danny Boy.
...and NBC’s Brian Williams tried his best to out do him *LOL*...but he paid
a big price meme wise on yahoo
Dan Rather was NOT the birth of Fake News. He simply got caught. Thank you, Buckhead.
But there was NBC rigging that truck to explode. There was the misquote of Alexander Haig when Reagan was shot. For those who don’t know, Haig was asked who was in charge. Haig replied, “Here at the White House? I am.” The question was edited out and it was made to look as a power grab by Haig.
And then there was Walter Cronkite devoting that entire half hour to the Tet Offensive. We actually won that battle but Cronkite made it appear as if we were routed. That night, on CBS news, we lost the Vietnam war.
Fake news has been around for a very long time.
I sure hope this bastard gets what’s coming to him!
My Dad was a PIO in Nam in ‘69. He would bring stories to Rather that covered the National Guard and Reserve troops helping out the local villagers with photos. Rather, sitting on his ass in Siagon, threw them back in Dad’s face, physically. Told him he wanted stories of American commanders screwing up, and photos of bodies hanging on barbed wire.
My Dad accused him of being a Commie. Rather replied that maybe he was, but “...as long as I am here, America is going to see this war the way i want them to see it!”
My Dad was in the Navy in WWII and Korea and got a journalism degree on the GI Bill in the late 40’s, because he thought that “journalism was the most honorable of all professions”. Rather and Nam destroyed that belief. Journalist were nothing but whores.
Journalists have always been liars, even back during the days of Randolph Hearst. The biggest lie they ever told was convincing so much of the public that the days of yellow journalism were over and that the news became impartial and objective.
What a crock - as if Dan Blather was the birth of the lamestream media lies!
Fake News started, worldwide, during the beginning of the Worldwide MSM’s existence!
