Netflix Next Up in Dan Rather Rehab Campaign

We’re watching the collapse of NPR as a trusted news source in real time thanks to Uri Berliner’s withering expose on the far-Left platform. Most mainstream journalists are covering up the fact that the U.S. President is in obvious mental decline.

Media outlets have yet to account for promoting the Russian Collusion hoax, one of many Fake News stories that eroded trust in the Fourth Estate.

Reporters now all but cheer on free speech repression, burying scandals like The Twitter Files.

What better moment to honor an anchor who still won’t cop to getting a massive story wrong?

Rather literally invented the "fake but accurate" defense in relation to the  hoax Texas Air National Guard memos that CBS' 60 Minutes II aired just a few weeks before the 2004 presidential election. Ironically, Rather's only real connection to the story was as its presenter, but he decided to stake his own reputation on it anyway ... and lost. Once people got a look at the memos, they were so clearly faked that it took less than 24 hours for the entire story to fall apart. 

I'll pass on the Netflix tongue bath, just as I passed on Robert Redford's cinematic tongue bath, ironically titled Truth.
