Dan Rather is trying to create his own "Watergate" and trying to become relative again.
It is funny to see how the creator of fake news is in such a mental state that he dare to create fake news again. Dan Rather must be a very sick individual.
Rather has an interesting relationship with facts and propaganda himself. Just before the 2004 election, Rather reported that then-President George W. Bush had gone AWOL while serving in the Texas Air National Guard. There was only one problem with Rather’s story: it was totally false. Rather was removed from his spot at CBS’s anchor desk after it was determined that his story was untrue, and he left the network shortly thereafter.

That story was NOT false
It was the shame of CBS that the hierarchy NOT from the news side which had given CBS its revered history decided to knuckle under to Bush lawyers and money and not stand by Rather...
Some of the source info Rather wanted to use had questionable history but the truth was that Bush was given a preferred spot in Tx ANG due to,family connections, that he did not honor the contract, and he was allowed to,get away with it and protected by his dad's buddies...

My memory of the Dan Rather scandal is a little different than yours. IIRC, a person came to the producer, told her a story, gave her documents which she verified. She had her ducks in row and then the guy and the witness he provided changed their stories.
She took Dan Rather and others down with her.
She is the person who told the world about Abu Ghraib.
IMO, she should have been triple careful about anything she did after the Abu Ghraib story. I'm surprised she wasn't killed. I guess killing her career was a lot more painful for her.
I will continue to trust mainstream tv and newspapers even though they make mistakes. I will never trust the FBI, CIA and the Pentagon. Lying to them is second nature and their motives are always self serving.
Donald Trump is correct when he tells us we don't know what is going on. Trouble is, I don't think he does either.
