I mean, even Biden realizes it’s fake. He started his comments, “If this is true. . . .”

I was ridiculed on some site, which one, I have forgotten, a couple of years ago, for saying that Dan Rather would be regurgitated and given a platform, just as lying Brian Williams has been. Yet there he sits, being treated like an elder statesman, instead of the fake news liar that he is.

It takes a fake to know a faker.
I bet Rather wishes he’d thought of this latest hoax first.

Goldberg/Atlantic: Trump rejected the idea of the visit because he feared his hair would become disheveled in the rain.

chip away at the lies. it was DAVID FRUM who invented the “hair” story:

between comment #25 and comment #41 I responded to Political Junkie Too (comment #4) and the Fox News article below which has David Frum introducing the “hair” element to the story. I post a number of comments linking Goldberg/Frum/Fox’s Jennifer Griffin & her husband NPR’s Greg Myre:

10 Nov 2018: Fox News: Trump takes heat over scrapped trip to cemetery in France
by Elizabeth Zwirz
David Frum, a speechwriter for former President George W. Bush, took to Twitter to slam the move, insisting that other transportation accommodations could’ve been made in case of poor weather.
“It’s not even 60 miles from central Paris to the monument. If the weather is too wet & windy for helicopters, a presidential motorcade could drive the distance in an hour,” Frum tweeted. “On site, presidential advance could easily erect a tent to protect the dignitaries (and the the presidential hair-do) from inclement weather.”...

NYT guy recommends Crowdtangle. Polly dissects how it can keep a story alive, or kill it.

almost as if someone uses it to keep rubbish like Goldberg’s at top of each news cycle, while any pro-Trump story barely gets a one-time - uaually negative - mention.

In this video I expose one of the major tools that both Corrupt State Department officials & phony ‘Fact Checkers’ use to stop the spread of news that threatens their Global Corruption Racket! Are the riots in the US linked to the same shady apparatus is covering up the Ukraine scandals? Are the child trafficking cover-upperers using the tools, too?

For those who don't know about this story:

Gene Phillips, a spunky little nobody, did not mince any words: "If Dan Rather says I kidnapped him, he's a fat-faced liar."

Phillips, 38, was seething. He'd just left jail. He'd been told he wouldn't be able to work at his cab-driving job the next day. His license was probably going to be revoked forever.

But nobody was asking for his side of the story. Everybody assumed Dan Rather -- the multimillion-dollar TV newsreader -- had to be telling the truth.

"I'm being treated like a maniac," sputtered Phillips as he stomped into a coffee shop where he had agreed to meet. "Nobody wants to listen to my side of the story."

So let's listen.

"OK, to begin, I've been driving cabs for 12 years. I've got a good record. I've had one day of suspension in all those years. Call the company and ask if I cause trouble. They'll tell you no. I have two years in college. I'm no yo-yo.

"This is exactly what happened from O'Hare Field when he entered my cab. I didn't know who he was. I don't watch TV.

"He gave me a street -- Castlewood Terrace -- and asked me if I knew where it was. I said I didn't. (That's understandable. Castlewood is only a block long, near the Lakefront.)

"His directions were explicit. Go down the Kennedy to Lawrence. Go east on Lawrence, and Castlewood would come in between Marine Drive and Sheridan Road.

"I did. But Castlewood didn't come in. I said I hadn't seen it and asked him if he saw it. He said no. So we went up Marine Drive looking for it, but it wasn't there.

"By the time we got to Montrose, I said: 'Look, I've got to be in the garage by 1 p.m. I'm not going to be able to drive around all day looking for it.'"

(Phillips had to be in the garage because he leases his cab. If he's late turning it in, he pays a penalty.)

"He told me: 'You don't know what you're doing.' He threatened to jump out of the cab. I said: 'OK, jump and you don't have to worry about paying the fare.' He's yelling: 'This is kidnapping. I'll make sure you never drive a cab again.' I said: 'Mister, you're going to pay. I'll make sure of that.'"

Dan Rather. He gets a hard-on when he farts.

Lucky to have gotten out of Nam alive. The Marines hated CBS reporters as much as they hated the commies (at least they respected the commies for being men, not snowflake traitors).
