Dan Rather is not a real journalist, but he played one on TV for decades.
Now he’s playing a concerned citizen on Twitter.
And he’s calling on somebody — anybody — to stop the madness:
Will anybody please, please, stop the madness? I don’t give a damn about the politics. I don’t want children to get sick. Please, please.

Don’t do it for Dan; do it for the children.

But do it mostly for Dan because nothing in life gives him greater pleasure than to be melodramatic and self-righteous.

Was he ever?
Plenty of people who care about children understand the harm — irreparable in some cases — that has been done to children by keeping them out of school, away from friends, masked up, and effectively beholden to the whims of a highly politicized CDC and teachers’ unions whose concern is decidedly not the children.
If there's new or emerging evidence that kids are suddenly threatened by COVID, somebody really ought to share it.
Because otherwise this weird and new obsession with masking kids looks irrational, politically manipulative, or both. https://t.co/RRaCdxxRoC

Obsessive, irrational, politically manipulative … yep, that’s Dan Rather in a nutshell.
