Mistah Rather - He STILL Clueless

In a staggering example of the press lacking any self-awareness, on Monday’s NBC Today, co-host Savannah Guthrie fretted over “a recent poll that said nearly half of people think the media make up stories” and unbelievably turned to disgraced former CBS Evening News anchor Dan Rather to suggest ways in which the news media could “enhance its own credibility.”
Citing a Politico poll from October that found 46 percent of voters “believe the news media fabricate news stories about President Donald Trump and his administration,” Guthrie asked Rather: “The media itself is under fire. And what do you think the media needs to do better to enhance its own credibility? And what do people need to understand about the value of the press?”
The ex-network anchor, who was fired for using fraudulent documents to smear former President George W. Bush in a series of reports ahead of the 2004 election, was shameless as he replied to Guthrie’s softball: “Well, first, those of us who are in the media....we need to do a better job, we need to do our job. Our job is to bear witness, to be honest brokers of information. To be as accurate and fair as we possibly can.”
He then went on the attack against the country’s most vocal media critic:

Asking the guy who lost his job for making up stories using fraudulent documents about media credibility.............
They really don’t know how they look, do they?
What’s the Frequency, Kenneth?

Dan Rather, you mean the guy who “retired” (was fired) after being caught spreading forged documents to try affect a presidential election?
Because they do!!!
I can't stop laughing.
Dan Rather and crew are the biggest single reason.
I believe St. Walter Cronkite is the father of Fake News.
We need to understand that every time the media says Trump or the GOP is doing something awful, Obama, Hillary and the DNC are already doing it.
How is Mary Mapes these days, Dan?
In what universe does it make good sense, for a news organization, to ask Dan Rather, why people don’t trust the News people?
The richest irony of the story is the credibility of the newsies reporting about the VERY subject with a notoriously unreliable source. They are confused about how people perceive them so they ask DAN RATHER?
They are proving the reason for the pole numbers. LOL!
The Martians, no doubt, shot at his ship.
Has Mr “fake but accurate” ever found Lucy Ramariz?
“You can’t make this Sh*t up.”
According to the leftist media you can.
Mr. Fake But Accurate; himself...
Also remember that Dan “what’s the frequency” Rather exaggerated/lied about being a Marine. He couldn’t finish basic training:

In their defense, when the media makes stuff up . . . it may be fake, but at least it’s accurate.
Was Dan doing a remote interview from a Kinkos somewhere in TX ??
The media is caught regularly making things up!
Another thing- reporters are lazy so they will use any source to keep them from doing real work- they also copy each other which is bad enough. They pour over social media and use things they find to write what they claim to be news articles. We are all warned to be careful of the accuracy of information we see online, yet reporters use things they find on social media and questionable websites from completely unknown sources all the time. Facebook is like neighbors gossiping over the fence, but good enough for reporters even on serious news. That is why they so easily fall for hoaxes when something like a shooting happens and end up naming the wrong person or even a comedian as the shooter.
President Trump is right!
