... After 44 years at the network, 24 as anchor of the "CBS Evening News," Rather left under a cloud following a botched investigation into then-President George W. Bush's military record. ...

So... 44 years of reporting.

And all your current alias seems to be able to find is one instance of a possible issue?


Really, that's what your current alias is hanging its hat on?


Wow.

He was a font of information.

The epic level of hypocrisy in this particular poster's creation of the headline is gobsmackingly impressive.

He terminated his career at CBS by lying. His reputation will always follow him. The tragedy is, CBS let him take the fall and kept their hands clean while Rather took the hit alone.

#5. Yep. Rather had editors above him and they tossed him under the bus.

Once again, got evidence?

Booted off the network and didn't even have a TV dinner empire for a backup. Sad.

I am still wondering about the details of that investigation.

Exactly! Hilarious in how utterly clueless, not to mention being an epic hypocrite. Totally blind to it, too. There folks live in total lies, an entirely fabricated "Earth II" alternate fact world and think they still have any business criticizing anyone else for much, much less? HAHA!

Idiots.
What im-bess-sills, what ultra maroons!

Funny how you morons rush straight to criticize Trump when a story like this breaks. You're either scared to approach it honestly, or you're like Lamp and you're just simply too stupid to have the conversation.

Duhhhhh FaKe NeWxz!!

Do you have any idea how brain dead you have to be to chirp this nonsense after the four years of incessant lies we were subjected to?

I'm still trying to figure out how this is news - other than it being a potentially interesting retrospective of Rather's career through a single interview that was done on CBS.
There's no job, there's no reporting, there's nothing going on here but an interview on CBS of Rather.
You seem to want to make it significant in some other weird way.
There's no "news" in here.
You are very twisted.

Make Fake News Great Again

You mean like Trumpy and the National Enquirer?

When I saw this headline I thought it was about Trumpy colluding with the National Enquirer to literally create fake news and then Trumpy choking on a dirty P------ in court as it all comes to light under oath.

... .

LOL a dipsschit who loves fake news.

Lol. That's funny stuff coming from a Trumpy cultist.

Think maybe in 20 years we will forgive Trumpy for his ~35,000 lies and creating fake news with Mr ------?

"I am still wondering about the details of that investigation."

What in the? Really? So someone is caught totally making up accusations to prompt investigations and you want to know the details of the investigation? And I'm not even talking about accusations, he was caught beyond any doubt. Actually, that tracks really well. Liberals did it with the Russia collusion issue with Trump so I guess that's just their MO. The comments here also track since we've already established the liberals on this site are all younger than 20 years old so you probably don't even know who Dan is.

And as far as lying goes, please let me know the count at which the number of lies a POTUS says is too much. Biden is saying more and more lies as the campaign comes near, so when will it be too many? I'd love to know what Liberals think, just so we can measure every POTUS to that number going forward to ensure we don't become hypocrites. Oh, who am I fooling, you Liberals obviously and unarguably use hypocrisy as your party platform so that point has passed I guess.

Based on that first sentence, I'm think you don't actually know the truth of this story. Dan Rather didn't make up accusations, he was given documents that turned out to be forged. The news organizations didn't do sufficient validation of the documents. The investigation Lamplighter is interested in is who exactly created those documents and fed them to CBS News.
