That’s nicely done! I like that they added someone else’s highlight reel

Dan Rather has been wrong about everything he has reported on for years.

Not true.

If you are referring to his reporting that W was hiding from military service during the Vietnam war, you are wrong. His sources were intimidated and he was left hanging, but his reporting was at least mostly accurate. Anything else that he was wrong about?

Not true.

No, it is true IMO

No, that is untrue and was proven untrue. Bush never was sent to Vietnam, but he flew F-102s in the Air Force. CBS claimed he had been threatened with discipline by his commanding officer for not taking a flight physical, and claimed to have the letter. It turned out the letter was written with Microsoft Word....which of course didn't exist at the time. Moreover, the date on the letter was several months before Bush was scheduled to take another physical. The show's producer was fired.

Wouldn't you have to be able to read in order to pass jusdgment on that?

Opinions vary

Threads like this suggest we are moving on and getting back to our normal arguments about nothing and everything. <insert feelsgoodman.jpg here >

Dude, the poster said Rather has been wrong about "everything". Really? Everything?

Especially the ones he made up.

Rather was set up by "The Great Right Wing Conspiracy". You may think I'm joking, but no, there really was and is a conspiracy by the right wing to discredit the press so some of the public (mostly republicans) won't believe anything the press reports that they disagree with.

OK, I apologize for getting involved. Wrong board for it and I don’t go to the right one.

Didn’t Dan Rather see how Caitlin disrespected that South Carolina guard? 😀

I agree, the off topic board is not what it used to be.
