‘Enough with Both-sides-ism’
Dan Rather, a veteran network news anchor and reporter, watched his long career essentially evaporate a good number of years ago in “Rathergate,” when he used forged documents in his reporting that criticized then-President George W. Bush.
He had not only used the fakes, earning from some the title of “father of fake news,” but also vigorously defended them when their origins came under suspicion.
Rather was removed from his position and then became a reporter online.
Now he’s insisting that reporters abandon any pretense of neutrality, insisting that they challenge President Donald Trump’s statements immediately and publicly.
