The truth behind Dan Rather’s exit from CBS
NY Post ^ | July 21, 2015 | Cindy Adams

Dan Rather is coming to your local movie theater. At least the story behind why he’s no longer at CBS is. In “Truth,” Robert Redford plays Rather. Cate Blanchett plays his CBS producer Mary Mapes.

I expect The Truth to do as well as Redford's Lions for Lambs did in 2007- It opened to negative reviews and disappointing box office receipts. It still hasn't earned back it negative cost.

Being a W-Bashing flick, the mainstream reviews may not be as negative but the paying public that generates huge box office for today's films (mostly 12-14 petulant boys who just entered puberty and love doing it over and over again) will not beat a path to its door. Much less pay to get in the door.

This is where new media and social media will play an important role (yet again) in debunking the revisionism. The story here boils down to this:

Rather’s story was based on a document typed in a font that didn’t yet exist (Times New Roman superscript) on a machine that didn’t yet exist (word processor) that showed signs of having been run through a photocopier for a couple dozen generations to make it look old.

End. Of. Story.

When I was living out West a few years ago Washington State University's 'Edward R. Murrow College of Communication' awarded their Murrow Award for "carrying on the traditions" of their Namesake

The left is so completely deranged as to believe in this kind of thing and to demand that any who disagrees be put down...sometimes literally.

Dan Rather is a hero who has been wronged.

Brian Williams is a misunderstood genius.

All the former "reporters" who rush to work for Obama and other Democrats are merely fighting for what is right.

Meantime Major Garrett takes a beating for questioning the boy president, and Sheryl Attkinson has her computers and phones bugged and is driven out of the profession.

The country's greatest peril is not the petty little whining of punk Leftist politicians but the daily roar of the Leftist press which props them up.

Revision of history by marxists continues, disguised as entertainment.

Good points. The press, as a whole, has been an agency of international leftist propaganda for a long time.

Shoot I notice now that in my post to you I neglected to mention TO WHOM WSU had awarded their Murrow prize...it was to Rather of course.

Posting while sitting in on a boring conference call almost ensures that you will do both pretty much half-assessed!

HBO is going after Justice Thomas and Redford is propping up the proven Liar Dan Rather.

You have to admit, the Liberal Propagandist’s NEVER give up.

LOL! The fact that there’s a Murrow prize is ironic enough.

Is this a joke?

Should be, but unfortunately, it's not.

The Liberal mind doesnt deal with reality well becuase it doesnt bend to their will when they scream at it....so they will create their own alternative reality...whether it be on the screen or in their own heads.

Of course. And the Rosenbergs were innocent. And so was Alger Hiss. And that's the way the history books will be written.
