By Scott Whitlock | July 22, 2019 1:08 PM EDT
Dan Rather doesn’t have any self awareness. The disgraced ex-CBS anchor, who resigned in the wake of an early example of fake news, went on CNN, Sunday, to insist that liars need to be called out for their falsehoods. Appearing on Reliable Sources with Brian Stelter and defended the so-called liberal “Squad†of Democratic congresswomen. Saying of Donald Trump, Rather insisted, “He lies repeatedly about the four young women congresswomen. He has lied repeatedly.â€
This is a man who used phony documents in 2004 in an attempt to derail the reelection campaign of George W. Bush. Rather lectured that it’s not just lying that needs to be challenged, but taking things out of context, this time in relation to the far-left Democratic Representatives:
[Trump] has taken their words out of context, which is pretty much a lie in and of itself. Now, the journalists' job, whether it's a rally or the President's tweet or the President's standing shouting on the back lawn of the White House, is to put that into context.
