Hollywood to Release Film Defending Dan Rather in Wake of Brian Williams Stolen Valor Lies
Breitbart ^

Posted on 02/16/2015 11:29:31 AM PST by TigerClaws

Talk about bad timing.

Echo Lake Entertainment is set to release its independent film, Truth, the story of former CBS anchor Dan Rather’s self-destruction. It’s based on the 2006 book Truth and Duty: The Press, The President, and the Privilege of Power by Mary Mapes, the discredited CBS producer. Mapes documents and defends Rather’s 2004 attempts to use the forged “Killian documents” to portray former President George W. Bush as someone who shirked duty in Vietnam.

Dan Rather and Mary Mapes ought to be in prison for what they did.

Especially Mapes, who knew from the outset that this story was bogus from a non-credible source.

Bitch.

Are you going to have a cameo? Will you do your own stunts?

FR apparently is mentioned in her book, based on the comments of the Amazon listing.

Years ago I saw Mapes’ book in a dollar store for $1. This was not that long after it came out. Wonder how much $ they will lose on this film.

Mapes documents and defends Rather’s 2004 attempts to use the forged “Killian documents” to portray former President George W. Bush as someone who shirked duty in Vietnam.

Was curious how the disgraceful, disgusting BS artist Mary Mapes had been doing in terms of her career as a journalist, since she humiliated herself by publicly admitting her collaboration with Rather in "Bush was AWOL" hoax. One might think that she'd have moved on to a new job with another leftist media outlet, MSNBC perhaps.

Does anyone know how many copies Mapes' book (defending her sleazy plot against Bush and his presidential campaign) sold? My guess is not very many. Now the left wants double down for her by creating a film version of the story?

If any film is to be boycotted it's this one!!!

There were actually a couple of thread befor this one. Howlin understood the significance of Buckhead’ comments regarding type (We had been discussing the IBM selecta and fonts when he explained the history of font)
It was Howlin who posted a new thread ( with buckheads comments —we all moved to that thread). That way we could more easily distributed to those who got the word out
The thread you posted came much later

There's no making sense of it. Liberalism is a mental disorder.

<<<I hope our fellow Freepers ask for cut in the profits they made this movie LOL!<<<

If the Movie slanders, which it will, the Freepers that figured out that Rather’s Documents were fabricated, the Producers should be sued.
