The anchor’s report was problematic because it was based on unverified documents whose authenticity could not be confirmed, meaning they were essentially proven false. This led to the downfall of Rather’s distinguished career, serving as a stark reminder of the pervasive bias in the media.
He set out to destroy a president he didn’t like, and he didn’t care whether the facts backed him up or not.
A similar scenario has unfolded recently with CBS News and its renowned program “60 Minutes,” as they were exposed for manipulating footage in a blatant display of unethical journalism. By replacing an unfavorable response by then-Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris with a more favorable one, they attempted to sway public opinion and influence the election.
The side-by-side is frankly stunning:
Remember Kamala’s word salad answer about Israel on 60 Minutes? It’s gone.
