Another Dan Rather Scandal
by Cliff Kincaid on April 6, 2017
 

Ever since his forced resignation in disgrace, Dan Rather has continued on a downward spiral. His career, such as it is, has been kept alive by appearances on the Rachel Maddow show on MSNBC, where he takes potshots at his former employer and President Donald Trump. It is a sad spectacle.

Rather has now suffered another major embarrassment. The former anchorman of the CBS Evening News has been accused by a website devoted to exposing military corruption of falsely claiming to have been a member of the U.S. Marine Corps.

The original "fake but accurate", only this is clearly fake and inaccurate.

Well, he did join the Marines and they made this picture of him; he didn't make that up.  Seems to me he was technically in the Marines.

No, ma'am.  If he didn't finish basic, he was not in the Marines.  It's like going for an interview and then claiming you worked the job.

If he hasn't been relevant in over a decade, is it still a scandal?

Yes it is.  It shows the DEEP corruption of the MSM.  Going back to the 1980s and even further.
