Everything you need to know about Dan Rather can be found in this animation of the ‘Killian Memo’, purportedly from the Vietnam War, compared with a Microsoft Word document, that ended his career.

Dan Rather reverted to playing George Clooney’s idea of a fictional crusading liberal journalist and eventually the media, which by then had fewer standards than a zombie in a funeral parlor, embraced him as the prototype of a serious journalist, by which they meant, speaking out against Republicans.

Now Dan’s not so happy about the CBS sale/merger and Bari Weiss taking on an editorial role at CBS News.

<p>Rather claimed that it “is a dark day in the halls of CBS News, where the portraits of television news pioneers once hung — Cronkite, Murrow, Sevareid, Collingwood. They were journalists who made television a trusted source of information. Whom and what are we to believe today?”</p>

Definitely not Dan Rather. The Killian Memo was a decisive blow to the credibility of the network newscast.

Rather, who has a clear political agenda, claims that CBS News will be run by “someone with a clear political agenda.” He also complained that Bari Weiss is “not a reporter”.

Bari Weiss had a Substack which just sold for $150 million. Dan Rather has a Substack that no one cares about.

"Whom and what are we to believe today?” Not Dan Rather.{ai:summary}<p>Rather’s arc hinges on the Killian Memo; he styled himself a crusading liberal and was treated as a watchdog against Republicans. Now he blasts CBS’s sale and Bari Weiss’s CBS role, calls it a dark day, notes bias, and says Weiss isn’t a reporter; her Substack sold for $150M. #politics</p>
