Was Rather complicit in promoting the fake news report or merely negligent? In the court of public opinion he pleaded to the lesser charge and was subsequently honored for a lifetime of service to crooked journalism.
How negligent was Rather? He promoted the validity of a supposedly typewritten document that contained superscript. For those of you who never used a typewriter, superscript was not possible on manual typewriters and even most latter generation electrics did not usually offer that feature.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killian_documents_controversy .
CNN drags Rather out of the pasture from time to time to get the perspective of a living sage.
"COURAGE. COURAGE. COURAGE."
As bizarre as that might be, the following link is to a Dan Rather correspondence course entitled:
Dan Rather on Journalism & Finding the Truth in the News
I am not making this up. The course was $150 but is now available for $19. Sale ends today! Better hurry.
