Surprised at the lack of comedic skills coming out from people on the left poking fun at him as of late. Maybe dipping your face in cheeto dust will show him.

Not surprised he decided not to show up to the correspondence dinner. Sounds like there's going to be a poor turn out, celebrities that hate his guts and the press. Funny how people are making a fuss out of this.

Yup, it's really difficult to come across any funnier than his advisors and supporters when they are interviewed on the evening news shows.

The Three Stooges have the comedy market cornered right now.

Ha I wasn't referring to those dip****s. More of the celebrity crowd/comedians. People such as Trevor Noah and John Oliver lack any from of comedic talent.

Now you are just sounding like an idiot. Both of those guys are brilliantly funny. They wouldn't have such high profile gigs otherwise.

He also knows a thing or two about "fake news" and how it relates to U.S. Presidents. ;)

CBS Ousts 4 For Bush Guard Story - CBS News

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Rather

Quote:

On September 8, 2004, Rather reported on 60 Minutes Wednesday that a series of memos critical of President George W. Bush's Texas Air National Guard service record had been discovered in the personal files of Lt. Bush's former commanding officer, Lt. Col. Jerry B. Killian.[36] Once copies of the documents were made available on the Internet, their authenticity was quickly called into question. Much of this was based on the fact that the documents were proportionally printed and displayed using other modern typographic conventions usually unavailable on military typewriters of the 1970s. The font used on the documents has characteristics that exactly match standard font features of Microsoft Word. This led to claims that the memos were forgeries.[37] The accusations then spread over the following days into mainstream media outlets including The Washington Post,[38] The New York Times,[39] and the Chicago Sun-Times.[40]

Rather and CBS initially defended the story, insisting that the documents had been authenticated by experts.[41] CBS was contradicted by some of the experts it originally cited,[42] and later reported that its source for the documents – former Texas Army National Guard officer Lt. Col. Bill Burkett – had misled the network about how he had obtained them.[43]

On September 20, CBS retracted the story. Rather stated, "If I knew then what I know now, I would not have gone ahead with the story as it was aired, and I certainly would not have used the documents in question."[44] The controversy has been referred to by some as "Memogate" and "Rathergate."[45]

Following an investigation commissioned by CBS,[46][47][48] CBS fired story producer Mary Mapes and asked three other producers connected with the story to resign. Many believe Rather's retirement was hastened by this incident.[49] On September 20, 2007, Rather was interviewed on Larry King Live commenting "Nobody has proved that they were fraudulent, much less a forgery. ... The truth of this story stands up to this day."[50]

In a 2010 issue of TV Guide, Rather's report was ranked #3 on a list of TV's ten biggest "blunders."[51]
