As Twitchy told you, media outlets and talking heads are losing their minds about Sinclair Broadcast Group sending similar talking points to news anchors at their various stations. There are plenty of MSM personalities who have no business getting bent out of shape, but this guy might be the actual King of the Media Hypocrites.
Ladies and gentlemen, Dan Rather:
News anchors looking into camera and reading a script handed down by a corporate overlord, words meant to obscure the truth not elucidate it, isn't journalism. It's propaganda. It's Orwellian. A slippery slope to how despots wrest power, silence dissent, and oppress the masses.

You sir a proven pusher/purveyor of lies! Have no business scolding others, as you washed out of journalism for ignoring its standards!

Amazing.
I can't wait until @BrianStelter brings you on the air to talk about why journalism is in such big trouble. https://t.co/PshZGXtXw5
