DNC: Dan Rather

[wb7ptr]

One more argument for the 99 percent! Dan Rather seems to have gotten it right ... money is controlling journalism ... NOT cool. Journalists need to be independent in order to cover the news impartially.

[charizardpal]

He looks like the guy from "Network"

[wb7ptr]

@charizardpal

"I'm mad as Hell and I'm not going to take it anymore" (repeat a few dozen times, jump out 20th story window. Die. (Of course it's a film, so you don't really die!) Director yells CUT!!!!

[kamilgrodzki69]

thumbs up of family guy brought u here lol

[WorldwideWakeupCall]

AMAZING SPEECH!

[gwilson61]

Dan the fake news maker is anything but independent - the guy is a DNC hack who lies for a living.

[edarotag84]

This is exactly why we can't trust the mainstream media, they are no better than actors or KGB state ran Television, They have commercial breaks at the same time and tell the same stories, NO REAL NEWS!

[geiadude]

As of this time News has sunk to a new low thanks to Microsoft Bill Gates and all of that ilk.. isn't a wonder that all web news pages has changed their web page design on almost the exact dates that Windows 7 was realeased Iv seen it Hasen 't Anyone seen this?

[SparkyMcBiff]

Turn off your TV people. Stop the hypnotism.

Start reading books.

Your perception will change.

Learn the truth about 9-11.

Learn about how the USA has been hijacked by criminals and the Federal Reserve.

You worlds will change but your eyes will be opened.

Not for the faint of heart.

[kennyconga]

dan rather wants you to spread it!

[geiadude]

Thank you Dan please keep up your great work  I Speak for myself. I do really need you. I do look for you as the last Truth,s of my life. Your Life.s work is Beautifull

"american journalism is in need of a spine transplant"

This old guy's got spunk

[bearhamo]

My wife and I love Link TV. It is real news. Before we were watching mainstream news and noticing you actually felt like you knew less after having watched it.

[AbstractBlaze]

[KentAllard]

hello Propaganda Model

[anutarasamyat]

Ah, gawd, he's still lying. It's not about 'bucks' at all. Media has always been an arm of government, it's just gotten a hell of a lot bigger lately. They've always lied to us and omitted the real stories and the real perpetrators. They exposed who they were given permission to expose. Now, it's all to do with the Agenda of the One World Government...and these 'readers of dummy cards' have always known it. Old Dan is still lying to whoever will listen.

[eachtem]

New today is garbage news, and that's what Rather is implying. And he's saying that we, and the sheep don't need garbage news or too many sheep like my dad will fallow along with many more 74 year old men. he's saying that we need real new more now then ever...

[arasta9999]

you need to ask, what is there to gain for Dan for lying?  I frankly can't see a reason for him to lie.

[anutarasamyat]

you need to understand what media really is. The Military Industrial Complex now own the controlling shares in the big 5. Dan Rather came out and said he was being 'discreet' about a lot of things going on that David Rockefeller had asked the media not to report on. They don't investigate anymore, they just read what's given to them. They are the lapdogs of govt. not the watchdogs anymore.

[arasta9999]

ha, no i'm with you. I was replying to someone saying he was lying in his recent speech stating that modern news is actually not news at all but entertainment. I thought you said Dan was lying in this speech and I stated what is the current reason to lie? He is speaking the truth in this speech.

[electroman076]

Fox News and Ruppert Murdoch are not lapdogs !

They break the real story...

I rarely see Fox waste time on the BS for very long, shure they covered Anna Nichole and MJ, yet they gave the story and moved on...

To more important thigs like General Electric (CEO) Jeffery Immelt...

The same GE who owns the entire NBC network !

The same Jeff Immelt who is Senior Advisor on the Obama Economic Recovery Board !

The same Immelt that was appointed to the Federal Reserve by OBAMA !

[CherishTheChildren]

No wonder others do nto want to speak out for when they do they get crucified , lets welcome truth and welcome those whom come forward , GOD Bless Dan

[BusBoyIsBack]

A lot of people are criticizing Dan Rather for coming out against this after his career.

Well rather late than never (no pun intended)

We'd be so much better off if some of the people who have been complicit all these years finally acted as if they had a conscience.

Imagine how much damage that could do to the news credibility if all former reporters spoke out like this.

Then we could finally have a chance to break the public free of the spell of the MSM.

[downtownlife]

wait... you mean britney spears isnt worthy of being the lead story on CNN? OMFG..SHOCKING!!!!!

[votefraudnet]

And what of all the propaganda during world war two? Why was the media controlled then as it has been ever since? Dan Rather made his millions in deception to the masses during his prime time news broadcasting. He is as much a traitor as Barry Soetoro, McCain and the Bush crime family. Now he decides to put the blame on recent corporations taking over the news...LOL. One more lie from Dan to confuse the masses. We aren't buying it Dan, you knew all about this back when you sold out to the devil.

[anim8me2]

Millions? Really?

I'm sorry I don't think Dan is worth that much.

[eachtem]

New today is garbage news, and that's what Rather is implying. And he's saying that we, and the sheep don't need garbage news or too many sheep like my dad will fallow along with many more 74 year old men.

[wingnut4427]

WOW !! HE grew a conscience !! HOLY FUCKING SHIT !! I'm glad someone in the MSM besides Lou Dobbs is speaking truth to power ! But You'll never hear of this on your TV ! This is why the corporations are trying to take the internet away from us ! BOYCOTT THE CORPORATIONS !!!

[ALITL8]

hey linktv, "change" looks nothing like the 2 puppet candidates you show in the last few seconds of this video.

folks, watch the rest of what Mr. Rather had to say... watch?v=fNwXjtfyKto

[NoJusticeInThisWorld]

This geezer told the truth for once in his life.

[BreakTheB0x]

Reminds me of the JibJab "What We Call The News"...

What happened to media that held government accountable instead of parroted their talking points?

[RandleEl11]

Everyone should do some research on the CIA's "Operation Mockingbird".

Our government and the CFR have controlled all mainstream media outlets for well over a century.

[zhengiszen]

What about the (foreign) lobbies that exercice their power on the politic and media in USA ?

ok let go back sleeping...

[DaPlegrim]

and as dan spoke millions of new minds began to awaken to the cold reality that there is something big and secret ruling their lives, and this was the beggining of the unveiling and ultimate demise of the new world order

[wewa]

When CBS dumps Katie as announced in the next year or two, I would re-consider respecting and viewing the evening news if they bring Rather back. He is one of the best. I trust his reporting. A totally different league from Brian Williams for example...

[dougp3]

You trust his reporting? Are you joking?

this is the same guy who tried to pass off a story based only on a FORGED document or have you forgotten already...

You should read the book Bias by Bernard Goldberg. He tells about the REAL Dan Rather.

This speech is just a bait and switch technique Dan is using to try and deflect blame and gain back some credibility that is not deserved.

[RedshiftX42]

Heh. You think Goldberg, whose allegations are contradicted even by the sources he cites in his footnotes, is a credible critic?

"Bias" is an appropriate title, but not in the way that Goldberg intends it.

[BreakTheB0x]

The document that he presented was forged by others, he was intentionally deceived by what he considered a reliable source. He driven out of the media because he was the lone voice for accountability in a media of talking point parrots.

All they had to do was issue a retraction, he didn't deserve to be fired for being tricked.

[DrSlang]

It's inspiring to hear the pillar of journalism that is Dan Rather speaking so honestly and with such conviction about what many of us have known for years, that our "free press" has failed us. We have been lied to and conspired against by the very organizations designed to inform and protect us.

[mcthorogood]

[FelipeSparx29]

wow!!

[someuser90]

what a pussy...

how about speaking out while you where being manipulated?

oh but you'd rather not risk your big pay cheques and pension...

[polidic]

even though you are right .. it's not an easy thing to do. It's easy to talk tough when it's not you.

[DaPlegrim]

at least it proves something, dont trust any scumbag big network reporters, except lou dobbs and keith olbermann, they speak truth

[salmagnone]

I don't watch K. Olbermann, but I do know that L. Dobbs is often in factual error on his stories on American business and on outsourcing. Error in the sense that he often doesn't tell the whole story, just the part that makes his point. So I don't watch him anymore.

[BreakTheB0x]

Olbermann is just the Bill O'Riely of the left.

Dobbs has also misreported facts as well.

The truth is that nobody speaks the pure unaltered truth anymore, and to think so is just asking to be decieved!

[DaPlegrim]

olberman and orielly report on the new world order, others dont , thats all, alex jones is the real news man

[BreakTheB0x]

"New World Order" is a theory in government, not an organization. League of Nations, the United Nations, etc. are "New World Orders". It's a globalist ideology to eradicate nationalism and unify the world under one banner.

You really need to stop listening to that hack Jones, he's a smart guy that loves to make a mountain out of a molehill; he exaggerates for ratings and hype. He's correct more than MSM, but the bar was set pretty low.

Google "FEMA coffins" for a laugh on misinformation.

[lostlyrics]

who confesses alliance with white trash is ... ?

[schoolution]

Oh Yes! This is needed reporting outside the corporate box. For years Dan was free 2 do; during his later years he sort of 'went along' with his bosses, but now he has freed himself with a possible 'mistake'- so now he IS free to report the truth. Amen!

[csmaca]

"American journalism is in need of a spine transplant." Yes.

[HairyPotter2006]

I would say that this is an international issue, not just american. Money is controlling everything. It is disgusting.

[raydogg88]

dugg

[acousticmtl]

thanks Dan

[doublej999]

this is like when ll cool j releaseds "mama said knock you out" after a lot of records that sucked.

[mxmang]

i'll take my corp. paycheque and dance around the real issues for 30 years then when i'm done working and i am unemployeable i'll flag my former employers and industry and talk smack about them... wow how professional!

[biggestfan777]

Dan is personally responsible for much of the loss of integrity of the media. He valued loyalty over truth and then demanded the same once he was in the anchor chair. What did he expect to happen? Putz.

[magee1205]

Source needed.

[NSResponder]

Look up "Killian Documents" on Wikipedia. Rather fucked himself over either because he hated GWB enough to go on the air with bogus documents, or because he was too stupid to figure out they were bogus.

-jcr

[marcdalessio]

The facts presented in the documents were true, and have never been proven false.

It was the truth, he was set up.

[NSResponder]

The documents weren't just a forgery, they were an incompetent forgery. I tried it myself, and I was able to match them with the Mac version of MS Word.

Rather got what he deserved. Go cope.

[marcdalessio]

My point was that the basic facts were true, do you dispute that?

We accepted the lost election after the fact.

[rebildtv]

glad to see Dan Rather is still delivering the message americans still need to hear, hats off to him for that...he is still very credible and trustworthy unlike the idiots that deliver the news today on circus shows like Fox

[NSResponder]

Too bad this guy blew away his credibility by going to the air with forged documents.

-jcr

[dusteroo]

or you could let him earn his credibility back by speaking out against the establishment.

[MichaelRMcCoy]

Within capitalism are contained the seeds of it's destruction. Mr Rather speaks of our "right" to accurate news coverage.

Unfortunatley, no such right exists.

The corporate right to profit by substituting news for mindless entertainment and carefully scripted "debates" about the critical issues reigns supreme.

For 45 years, the Soviet people knew they were seeing government propaganda in their "news".

Americans, by and large, are oblivious that they fall victim to it, every day.

[rexseven93]

Amazing if you like socialists.

[Lewie82]

I'll never forget that voice. Dan Rather is an amazing man.

[thomrob10]

check out Thom Robertson

[freighttrain777]

FOX .. CNN ... and more... all BS!

[PureHateFace]

What is really sad is the fact that he has known about the system and how it works for years. And even sadder is he sat there reported and spoon fed the public all that propaganda and bullshit while knowing exactly what he was doing.

Too little too late Dan

or in other words... fuck you and your conscience Dan. You were part of the problem and STILL are.

[OMGOMGOMG001]

That's GOOD SHIT right there! Thanks for posting this! ☆☆☆☆☆

[Yarcofin]

What are the chances that ANY mainstream media outlet shows any of this speech?

0%.

"You'll think what we tell you to think!"

[TurkeyBurgersM3]

Wow I would never have seen this video if not for YouTube. Sadly this has become one of my main news sources. I can see views from the right, the left AND the middle. The most important part is the middle. I think the HARDEST thing for a person to do is to separate yourself from an issue and look at every angle. Thanks for sharing this video.

[EchelonMonitor]

Sad that the days of the hard-nosed news owner who could stand up to anyone and protect the integrity of the news are long gone.

[jessinamercy]

Go Dan Rather! BREAKIN IT DOWN YO!

[rudymontes1]

Dan Rather is Legend!

This should wake up some of the old timer sheeplets.

[ubuibiok]

****Dan Rather, thanks for standing up !

[hajqbvii]

...thanks for posting this very insightful info......Dan Rather is absolutely correct that our mainstream media has dropped the ball on good journalism, they've been compromised by the government and shareholders!....tune in on independent news!....5 stars linktv
