He was a part of a very different and darker sinister attack on a President. Dan Rather was the only news reporter who actually saw President John Kennedy's assassination. News reporters were riding in vehicles in the motorcade, but they did not see the shooting. Their vehicles had not turned the corner into Dealey Plaza. But Dan Rather wasn't in the motorcade. He was standing on the sidewalk on the north side of Elm street, just before the famous triple underpass. In a CBS Radio live interview, Rather said that he: had a clear and unobstructed view, that he was looking directly at President Kennedy when he was shot. Rather said he saw the President thrown violently forward...almost into the seat in front of him by the impact of the bullets. Rather's eye-witness report supported the Warren Commission's conclusion that the shots had been fired from behind the President's limousine; and from the Texas School Book Depository Building. Rather's eye-witness report, and his report on the killing of Lee Harvey Oswald, launched a meteoric rise in his career. Shortly after the Kennedy assassination, CBS promoted Dan Rather from an obscure network position in Houston, to become the CBS White House Correspondent. After covering Lyndon Johnson's White House, Rather went on to be one of the Program Hosts on CBS 60 Minutes. Then when Walter Cronkite retired, Rather was given the top job at CBS as Anchor of the CBS Evening News. But wait a minute. Dan Rather reported he saw John Kennedy thrown violently forward. That isn't what happened at all. The Zapruder film of the assassination clearly shows John Kennedy being thrown violently BACK AND TO THE LEFT! This is just the opposite of what Rather reported. The Zapruder film shows that Dan Rather LIED TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE! Of course the People didn't know it, because they were not allowed to see the Zapruder film until several years after the assassination. Rather wrote a book entitled: The Camera Doesn't Blink What grim irony in that title. Nakano __ Do You Yahoo!? Get personalized email addresses from Yahoo!

Nakano comments: Dan Rather played a part in another sinister attack on a different President. According to his own report and his own book, Dan Rather was the only news reporter who was an eyewitness to the assassination of John Kennedy. The other reporters were riding several cars back in the motorcade. They had not turned the corner into Dealey Plaza in time to see the shooting. But Dan Rather wasn't in the motorcade. He was standing on the sidewalk on the north side of Elm street just before the triple underpass of Stemmons Freeway. Several hours after the assassination Dan Rather told his story to the nation on the CBS Radio Network. Rather said he had a direct and clear unobstructed view and that he was looking directly at President Kennedy when he was shot. Rather stated that the impact of the shots threw Kennedy violently forward, and almost into the seat in front of him. It's curious that Rather's report supported the official story (and the Warren Commission Report), that John Kennedy had been shot from behind. But Dan Rather did not tell it the way it was. The famous Zapruder film of the assassination very clearly shows that President Kennedy was thrown BACK AND TO HIS LEFT. At no time was he thrown forward as Rather reported. (Of course, the public was not allowed to see that film until several years later.) That false report launched Dan Rather's career on a meteoric rise. CBS promoted him from an obscure job in Houston to become the CBS White House Correspondent! He was the CBS man at Lyndon Johnson's White House until he became a co-host on the CBS Program 60 Minutes. Then when Walter Cronkite retired, CBS gave Rather the top job in the network. Dan Rather lied to America at a critical moment in our national life. The Zapruder film proves this. For this he should not be forgiven. Rather wrote a book about his career during those years.

[CTRL] MRC: Dan Rather; Onset of Senility, or Rather Reveals Truth on TV?
-Caveat Lector- [First he tells the world that a man lie about many things and still be an honest man...and, that he considers Bill Clinton is an honest man. Now check out what he said last night on Letterman's TV Show (below). I Wonder why he didn't bring up this Cheney stuff on his OWN new TV show (it might have improved his new show's Rather dismal ratings)?? You think he was trying to be funny, was joking around? Could be, but, personally, based on his recent behavior [as compared to that of his entire career, prior to his recent antics], I believe he could easily get a GUARDED clinical diagnosis of some sort of dementia. Still, it's sad to see ANY body melting down in front of your very eyes (makes me feel sorta the same as when I watch a mad cow stumbling all over the place, i.e., SAD, SAD, SAD!). Or, as Jed Clampet of The Beverly Hillbillies would say, PIT-eee-FULL!! --MS] http://www.mrc.org/news/cyberalert/2001/cyb20010608.asp#1 The 1,091st CyberAlert Tracking Media Bias Since 1996 Friday June 8, 2001 Vol. Six; No. 93 Rather: Uncle Cheney in Charge; No Taxes, No Rebate; Human-Induced Warming Causing Droughts Floods; McVeigh Blamed on Right 1) Dan Rather twice joked to David Letterman about how Uncle Cheney is really running things, declared that Bush has governed further to the right than most people expected and brought up a new global warming study. Plus, he threw in a new Ratherism about trailing a bleeding elephant in six feet of snow. 2) The tax cut bill, as only Dan Rather could portray it: Describe its features and then relay the left-wing class warfare attack on it: Democratic opponents say the cuts are fiscally irresponsible and dangerous and unfairly heavily favor high income Americans. 3) ABC focused on $21,000 and $18,000 salary people and delivered the shocker that if you don't pay income taxes you don't get an income tax rebate and if you pay little in income tax you get less than the maximum rebate. ABC's John Cochran warned that millions of people are in for some nasty surprises. 4) Global warming is real, the new report declares, and humans are helping to cause it, ABC's John Cochran asserted. Skipping any science, CBS's John Roberts went straight to the liberal activists: In Florida, the worst drought in a hundred years has cracked the land. In Europe, a record winter of rain and flood. More evidence of global warming, say environmentalists who plan to meet President Bush with a storm of protest in Europe. But the National Academy of Sciences report is far more nuanced. 5) Maverick Republican is CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer's favorite term as he attaches it to any Republican who has decidedly liberal views. On Monday night he labeled not only John McCain as maverick, but also Rudy Giuliani and Jim Jeffords. 6) With Tim McVeigh about to die, a Media Reality Check looking back at 1995 media spin.

First Reaction: Liberal Journalists Blamed Conservative Pols and Talk Radio for Oklahoma Mass Murder. --- - 1 Appearing on the Late Show with David Letterman on Thursday night, Dan Rather twice joked about how Uncle Cheney is really running things, declared that Bush has governed further to the right than most people expected, brought up how a new global warming study says that global warming is further advanced than even they thought it was, but that Cheney will take care of it, and falsely implied that the CBS Evening News hasn't touched the story of under-aged drinking by the Bush daughters. Plus, he threw in Ratherisms about Fidel Castro and a giraffe as well as trailing a bleeding elephant. Some of Dan Rather's comments I took down from the June 7 show: -- Rather: I think by any reasonable analysis that George Bush is off to a pretty good start with his presidency. Letterman: You were pleased with how he handled the situation in China, you thought that went alright? Rather: I'm pausing only because you said 'the way he handled it.' I' m not sure he handled it because remember you have Uncle Cheney who runs an awful lot of things around there. No, I think that was handled very steadily. He pulled some good people around him. But now comes the difficult part, the stands he's taken on the environment, his tax program, the details of which we do not yet know, all of these things have gotten him a reputation, justifiably or not, of running an administration that's further to the right than most people expected. -- Rather volunteered: This new global warming study, if you read the paper today, saying that global warming is further advanced than even they thought it was. But I wouldn't worry about that because you remember when you studied the legends of history, King Canute just walked out on the beaches of Britain and commanded the waves to stop? I have every reason to believe that President Bush will just turn to
Re: [CTRL] MRC: Dan Rather; Onset of Senility, or Rather Reveals Truth on TV?
-Caveat Lector- Dan Rather wants people to love him - way back in 1977 on the Fourth of July Celebration during celebration - the big one - he sat there in his expensive suit, smiled sadly and said the most wonderful thing about America was the people Then I remember what he had done to Nixon with a personal vendetta when he said how much will it take to push this man over the edte referring to the attack of the news media and the likes of Rather. Walter Cronkite they tell us was loved, much loved and who wrote all that nice stuff - why Wawlter Cronkite and his press agents, and Dan Rather is trying to be beloved by all and it just does not work. Once my sister tried to get him to come to Columbus and used and asked this man who was very influential to get him - Rather wanted $50,000 and expenses - that was back in 80 period and I said - hey you could get Pinko Cronkite for nothing. So such is lifieRather tries to shed tears now, and is taking like Clinton, acting lessions - note now the trend is for men to cry, openly, and without shame? Like that Navy Commander or Captain who bawled for dumping a Japanese sub? People want all that maudlin drama? Ever see Jackie Kennedy cave in even when her husband's head was blow off - she was made a widow, her children fatherless, and another took his office..did Cronkite cry - no, but he choked up a little for he knew JFK hated the sob. So much for Dan Rather who wants to be beloved.and build his image..maybe he should go out and rape somebody and cry on TV and we all will be sorry for him, and give him a big huggie with love.maybe the ArkAngel would fall for that crap, but not me. For I think Dan Rather is just another would be Jimmy Swaggart in the making.and his tears will flow like wine. People will not forgive him for his sinister attack on the President of the United States as he wwaited for him to break Nixon did not break and deep throat Kissinger was one of Rather's CFR associates.
