At last, the answer to the question no one was asking: “I wonder what Dan Rather thinks about this election?” The former CBS Evening News anchor must be aware that a new generation of journalists is hard at work spinning things for the Democrats more blatantly than he ever could, but his inner scold wants America to know that “history is watching.”
Our actions in this election will be studied for a long time. I suspect its verdict will be harsh. #historyiswatching

Who invited this guy to 2016?
@DanRather @Scout66com I suspect that history will say your era began the decline of journalism and you had a lot to do with that

@DanRather your actions of #mediabias #douchebaggery #liar #ethicallychallenged have been studied for a long time. The verdict is in #guilty

@DanRather I wonder how history will judge a disgraced "news" anchor who dishonestly tried to destroy a U.S. President?

So, people are still kind of sore about that whole “fake but accurate” thing?
It will certainly be harsh on you, and deservedly so, @DanRather. You made an ass of yourself again. Go find a tornado to video.

@DanRather Yes, your service to neoliberal elites, as a pawn and paid liar, will be studied and mocked. I will preserve that record.

@DanRather you old dinosaur! It's you and your craft that have destroyed this country. You've pushed candidates and agendas down our throats

@DanRather Remember when you presented phony documents about GW Bush weeks before an election? You were exposed as a leftist and as a fraud.

@DanRather You are the pioneer of the grotesquely biased third world journalism we have today. There are no ethics. Journalism is dead.
— Trumpforprez (@danielgood359) August 10, 2016
@DanRather The world is in the shape it's in by YOUR spins and selective coverage for democrats and against republicans. You sicken me.

@DanRather 1) Yes, Dan. Media will be judged as more persecutorial, biased, and nonobjective than anything Stalin regime produced.

@DanRather 2) Scholars will study remarkably thick bubble constructed around Hillary's crimes, perpetuated by shills like Dan Rather and CNN
— Niphredil (@Nilphredil) August 10, 2016
@DanRather 3) "Harsh" is an understatement for a media that refuses to investigate the shocking crimes already uncovered this week alone.

@DanRather History will judge says the man who tried to turn an election with false reporting.. Indeed it shall be. go away!

@DanRather What is the frequency, Dan? Because apparently you are tuned into the MSM's mile-a-minute lies. Stay retired.

@DanRather so frustrated to realize how your generation used the media to manipulate the general public. Thank goodness for the Internet
— C. DeYoung (@clhspd) August 11, 2016
@DanRather We are watching and judging the media. We will remember. Your legacy.
— Citizen (@strongthought) August 11, 2016
@DanRather History isn't "watching". That statement proves you attempt to "create" history.
— Citizen (@strongthought) August 11, 2016
@DanRather Oh be quiet. You had your minutes of shame. Now go away

@DanRather 12 years after the end of your career, you're still irrelevant
— taradise (@tmswilson) August 10, 2016
@DanRather You credibility vanished 12 years ago. Go the fuck away.
