Dan Rather is still out here giving advice to news directors, this time telling them to investigate Donald Trump and his connections to Saudi Arabia:
If I were a news director of a global reporting organization, I would devote a lot of resources and reporting energy to investigating the relationship between President Trump, his administration and business, and Saudi Arabia. I don't think we have seen the full picture.

And what’s funny is that the MSM isn’t doing this now which means Rather is attacking his fellow journos over it:
I would propose putting together a consortium of reporters and outlets to deal with this, similar to Panama Papers. #KhashoggiPapers https://t.co/Sl8kPEdtBp

And we’ll end it with this: If only a news director from his past had spent a little more time investigating Vietnam-era fonts, maybe he wouldn’t be where he is today:
