Fake News Aficionado "Newsman Dan" Still Out There Saying Dumb Sh*t

It’s not surprising to see Newsman Dan Rather carry water for 46* and his Democratic cohorts, but to see the disgraced ex-newsman essentially justify actions from the president that will prove catastrophic to Afghan women may be a new low for the Godfather of Fake News.

He did so while taking a stand for the killing of unborn children.

The left is losing its collective mind over the Supreme Court refusing to take action on a request to block a Texas law prohibiting most abortions after about six weeks of pregnancy. Taking effect today, the law ushered “in the most restrictive abortion law life saving measure in the nation.

And this is where our feminist hero comes into play, as Dan took to the Tweeter to slam those who had concerns about Biden leaving Afghan women to the mercy of the brutal Taliban, downplaying the plight of these women to protect his guy, while advocating for the right to kill unborn babies.

It’s worth noting that many of the same people attacking the Biden Administration for leaving women’s rights behind in Afghanistan are eager to control women’s bodies and choices in the United States.

The tweet follows Arne Duncan, who served as Barky Obama’s Education Secretary, comparing the unvaccinated to suicide bombers at the Kabul airport. As for his tweet, Rather is saying those who care about the rights of women also care about protecting unborn babies, as if that’s a bad thing. But then, conservative Matt Walsh hit the nail on the head when it comes to the left’s fervid support for abortion.

If you ever had any doubt about who the bad guys are, just look at leftists convulsing in spittle-flecked rage like demon possessed lunatics because fewer babies will be murdered in Texas. That should clarify things for you.

Social media users were not kind to Rather over the tweet, with Life News suggesting that he may want to sit down: 

* "You support killing little girls in abortions. Sit this one out." 

* "Dude fundamentally misunderstands the pro-life movement and sentiment. And comparing women's rights under Sharia Law to women's right in Western Democracies limiting the murder of the unborn reveal just how naive this cat is."

* "Right, the people who think dismembering babies is wrong are the ones who are similar to the Taliban. Pro-abortioners always have the most sound arguments."

It's worth noting that profit-seeking fake news took hold once people in the mainstream media became as arrogant and corrupted as Dan Rather.

The Newsman Dan Award Confirms Honorable Journalism Is Pretty Much Dead

The University of Texas at Austin’s Moody College of Communication announced Wednesday the Dan Rather “Medals for News and Guts” awards.  Considering the 2004 “fake but accurate” scandal involving former CBS News anchor’s fake news “reporting” on George W. Bush’s National Guard service, you’d think no journalism school worth its salt would have the gall to actually create awards in his honor. But they did.

"The medals, to be awarded annually, further Rather’s goal of supporting and defending excellence in journalism by recognizing those journalists who defy overwhelming odds to report on important stories — no matter the size of their newsrooms."

I'll wait while you laugh.

Next up: The Brian Williams Award for Journalistic Integrity https://t.co/LgpXFC3NSn

Of course this is not the first award in honor of Newsman Dan. Diogenes'Middle Finger created way back when "The Dan Rather Award for “Excellence in Media" as part of our weighty, semi-renowned  Infrequently Annual Golden Turd Awards.

The Real Threat To Democracy is a Prevaricating & Dishonest Media. And there is nothing honorable about it these days. But I have sometime found it entertaining to listen to hypocritical, lying shit-bags pretend to take the high ground and argue from position of morality and goodness. I think we all know someone like that. Rather’s career came to an embarrassing end when he relentlessly pushed lies and the fake news story about George W. Bush that he still claims is true.

Since being booted from the anchor chair at CBS for propagating the fake news, Rather has been slowly circling the media drain, bouncing around various liberal cable news network outlets including a multiple-year stint with Mark Cuban’s HDNet that no one has heard of either.

What's the Frequency Kenneth??

Irony Alert: The Godfather of Fake News Calls DJT 'Orwellian'

Disgraced 'Newsman Dan' Rather's face for some strange reason continues to appear on television screens. It's latest appearance was on Don Lemon's CNN basement rated talk feast in a deep intellectual discussion about outrage at the DJT presidency. At one point, Newsman Dan took the lead when he called the current administration “straight out of Orwell”, prompting Lemon to encourage Rather to expand on his comparisons of the Trump presidency and 1984, the classic dystopian Orwell tome. 

“Orwell, what he wrote it's practically a shooting script for Donald Trump. The point being here there is a method to this, and the method is to convince people that the only truth is the truth that comes from me, the ultimate power. I'm the man with the ultimate power. And he has made some way in that -- as several people have said before me he's not just attacking the truths, he wants to annihilate the truth. He wants to move us completely into the post-truth political era in which there's no such thing as objective facts. He is the only fact. He has all the facts, he has all the information, just listen to him.”  

Not only was The Godfather's TDS showing, but the hypocrisy just drips from his comments. Let me explain. 

Let's replace all references to Trump in Rather's above statement with references to "the Media" and see that Newsman Dan's comment demonstrates that he, like most in the media, have totally lost any sense of self awareness, or just a willing participant in a conspiracy of hate and propaganda. (my changes in bold)

“Orwell, what he wrote it's practically a shooting script for the anti-Trump Media. The point being here there is a method to this, and the method is to convince people that the only truth is the truth that comes from the media , the ultimate power. The Media is the ultimate power. And the media has made some way in that -- as several people have said before me they are not just attacking the truths, the media wants to annihilate the truth. The media wants to move us completely into the post-truth political era in which there's no such thing as objective facts. They are the only fact. They have all the facts, they have all the information, just listen to them.”

Watching the whole interview, other than the brilliant revelation that Trump was not descended from Sun Gods, the only real thing believable I heard coming from Newsman Dan was his statement "It is not an overstatement to say that what is going on now is a great and decisive battle for the soul of this country." Yes Dan, we know. And while you refuse to accept it, more and more Americans are coming to believe that in that 'decisive battle', we are led by the right man. Something your agenda driven opinion and blinding hate will never allow you to understand.
