Fake but AccurateRather
...the man who put the BS in CBS News. In 2004 he put on a news story that highlighted dissatisfaction with Lt. George W. Bush in the Texas Air National Guard during the Vietnam war. This was almost casually--but gleefully--debunked by the Blogosphere at large. Rather's face was rubbed in journalistic mud, four of his staff were fired, and within a short time his 43-year (about the same length as Muammar Qadaffy's) career had settled to the bottom, from whence he periodically emits a bubble, which proves he's not dead yet...
criticized CBS News on Thursday for making journalist Bari Weiss its editor-in-chief, as well as acquiring her independent news outlet, ''The Free Press.''
Rather, age 93, argued on his Substack page that the hiring of the anti-woke news hound, as well as CBS coming under the control of billionaire David Ellison — whose father is a friend of President Donald Trump
...Perhaps no man has ever had as much fun being president of the US...— meant that CBS News will be catering to the Trump agenda.
''The American people will pay the price for this move, as will the journalists of CBS News who can no longer credibly serve as watchdogs because the ones they are meant to hold to account are signing their paychecks and hobnobbing with the president,'' the veteran journalist wrote.
| Says the man who created fake documents in order to frame George W. Bush, and deservedly lost his career as a result. |
CBS' parent company, Paramount, named Weiss the editor-in-chief of CBS News on Monday following the company's acquisition of ''The Free Press'' for $150 million. The move angered liberal journalists and media figures, as Weiss' outlet has made waves for challenging DEI, gender ideology, and supporting Israel.
