....Dan Rather, etc. the quintessential Liberal spokesperson ruled the airwaves.

And his slant was no different from the above.

1. Edward R. Murrow, in full Edward Egbert Roscoe Murrow, (born April 25, 1908, Greensboro, N.C., U.S.—died April 27, 1965, Pawling, N.Y.), radio and television broadcaster who was the most influential and esteemed figure in American broadcast journalism during its formative years.

His birthday this date.

2. Anyone familiar with the undying love that Franklin Roosevelt had for the Soviet dictator may be surprised that Murrow played a leading role in making life comfortable for Marxists leaving Europe before the onslaught of their Nazi cousins.



3. WWII saw a beginning.... While American presence in Russia was modest and equivocal, Russian presence in wartime America was so large that they had to set up a corporate headquarters on Sixteenth Street in Washington. One of the executives in th huge staff was Victor Kravchenko, metallurgist, engineer, executive, and captain in the Red Army. And the first Soviet “defector.” John V. Fleming, “The Anti-Communist Manifestos”



4. As a result of the ascension of the Nazis, the dominant Neo-Marxist 'think-tank,' the Frankfurt School, moved to Geneva, and then to New York City. The openness, freedom and liberty of the United States is all they needed to infect this society and its cultural institutions. Too many simply ignored the onslaught…”And the most dangerous thing you can do with a driven leftist intellectual clique is ignore it!” Breitbart, “Righteous Indignation,” p. 114.

a. Waiting to ally themselves with the Frankfurt School Marxists were the Americans who had accepted the Wilson/TR synthesis of Hegel and Marx. And a welcoming ‘nest’ was provided for these vipers by the Columbia University Sociology department. And, the perfect storm: America was up for helping scholars fleeing from Germany. The guy in charge of this was Edward R. Murrow, the Emergency Committee in Aid of Displaced Foreign Scholars.

Talking specifically about Rather, what kind of "journalist" accepts and broadcasts the Killian documents without vetting them first? Isn't checking out your sources, especially one as unstable as Mr. Burkett a basic part of the journalistic process?

Roger Stone and the Architect Karl Rove knew what a pathetic loser Rather was, and how his partisanship would cause his fall, that's why they wrote and had the Killian letter passed to him.

Calling a disgraced,pathetic pos like Rather "great" is quite the overstatement.
 
A thing about the US I used to admire was the amenability of people to adapt to difficult situations.
Some people and some locations are better suited for that. The more people there are crammed into a tight perimeter the more likely they are to depend on someone else for sustenance, especially intellectual insight.
Sad though it is, it is, as they say, what it is.

The term 'intellectual' is hardly a word you should be using.....it puts a glaring spotlight on your.....lacunae.

Cronkite WAS great. Rather has turned out to be a brainless, very anti-Trump liberal lunatic. Quite sad, I sorta liked him before Donald Trump became president and turned him into a blathering, senile old fool.



Once any of them chose to take sides, they were no longer journalists.

“The notion of a neutral, non-partisan mainstream press was, to me at least, worth holding onto. Now it’s pretty much dead, at least as the public sees things. The seeds of its demise were sown with the best of intentions in the late 1960s, when the AMMP [American Mainstream Media Party] was founded in good measure (and ironically enough) by CBS. Old folks may remember the moment: Walter Cronkite stepped from behind the podium of presumed objectivity to become an outright foe of the war in Vietnam. Later, he and CBS’s star White House reporter, Dan Rather, went to painstaking lengths to make Watergate understandable to viewers, which helped seal Richard Nixon’s fate as the first President to resign. The crusades of Vietnam and Watergate seemed like a good idea at the time, even a noble one, not only to the press but perhaps to a majority of Americans. The problem was that, once the AMMP declared its existence by taking sides, there was no going back. A party was born.”
Newsweek’s chief political reporter, Howard Fineman, “The ‘Media Party’ is over: CBS’ downfall is just the tip of the iceberg,” January 11 , 2005.



He was not for American sovereignty:


Cronkite: “It seems to many of us that if we are to avoid the eventual catastrophic world conflict we must strengthen the United Nations as a first step toward a world government patterned after our own government with a legislature, executive and judiciary, and police to enforce its international laws and keep the peace. To do that, of course, we Americans will have to yield up some of our sovereignty. That would be a bitter pill. It would take a lot of courage, a lot of faith in the new order.” Remarks on Accepting the 1999 Norman Cousins Global Governance Award - World Beyond Borders

Nowadays, libs fight against investigative journalism. The leaders in the field nowadays, guys like the Tremendous James O'Keefe, are routinely skewered by lefturd talking heads. I can't remember a single time that 60 minutes or any other liberal program went after the Clintons or the Obamas.

Rather was an ICON and he threw it all away, his career, his legacy...just to write a lying smear piece on bush jr.

What a yutz!


That's what Leftists do.

No honesty nor integrity.....the only question is whether they brought that with them, or acquired it rubbing shoulders with other Leftists.

You know the old joke:
The Main Thing Is Honesty. If You Can Fake That, You’ve Got It Made



Applies to every 'journalist' I've named.
 
The air-wing of the Liberals has one function: to shoot down any who are a threat to their dogma, or their power.

Mr. Rather was just so consumed by hatred for George W. Bush, that he really didn't want to hear that the Killian documents were bullshit so he didn't risk it.

Personally, I think that Rather really believed in the documents and his story, he was that consumed with hatred.

Liberalism is a form of brainwashing. Seems to destroy the ability to recognize reality.
