Remembering Dan Rather’s Time Traveling Microsoft Word StoryThis is how far you can go if you try to influence a presidential election with made up scandals.April 29, 2024 by Daniel Greenfield At 92 years old, Dan ‘Kenneth’ Rather returned to the scene of the crime, or rather a CBS morning show, to promote a Netflix documentary that explains how he was able to send a laptop running a copy of Microsoft Word back to the Vietnam War era in order to prove that George W. Bush dodged the draft.
In that spirit, this story is fake but accurate. Maybe. At least to Dan Rather standards.
The disgraced talking head whose ability to read a teleprompter in a monotone echoing that of former roommate Tommy Lee Jones while occasionally wearing a trenchcoat on field assignments convinced gullible old ladies that he was a “newsman” has since become an icon to former Gawker and BuzzFeed jornos who moved on to the Washington Post.
