Truth Teller Dan Rather, on TV pundits beating the war drums: what do you mean, we have to "do something" — in Ukraine, Syria, China's ocean? Eh?

Dan Rather to CNN, on Sunday, August 24, 2014:

” . . . the war drums have been beating along the Potomac for some little while, accentuated in recent weeks and now in recent days. As a citizen — let me take my journalist hat off for a moment — but, as a citizen, this worries me a great deal. Because as a journalist who has seen war zones, I’m not padding my part here, but I’ve seen war up close not like the combatants do, but the savagery, the brutality of war once we put the nation at war … All of these people on television — some of whom I have enormous respect for — but it unsettles me to hear them say, listen, we, the United States, we have to, quote, “do something” in Ukraine, we have to do something in Syria, we have to do something in the waters around China, we have to do something about what’s happening in Yemen, we have to do something in Iraq, we have to do something about ISIS, what they are talking about are combat operations.

Reblogged this on OUR GREATER DESTINY and commented:
Without public attention, devotion, and money, perhaps mainstream media repeaters will become authentic reporters.

Dan Rather made his reputation for being a media lackey: “His head was seen to move violently forward.”

  Yes, until what was to be his finest hour turned into his personal nightmare:

Dan Rather was one of the last semi-honest journalists on mainstream media.
It is disgusting what the right-wing side of the cabal did to him. I often wonder, when are those
who still portend to any legitimacy of their respective parties, either Red or Blue, going to come to the obvious awareness that both sides are owned and controlled?
