My latest in PJ Media:
Disgraced far-Left “journalist” Dan Rather weighed in on the “Let’s Go Brandon” chant Wednesday, claiming in a tweet that “#LetsGoBrandonReallyMeans ‘You can’t handle the truth.’” Rather, who is now 90, has apparently lost any sense of irony he may have ever had: If anyone knows about not being able to handle the truth, it’s Dan Rather, but only because he remains one of the most spectacular examples in recent history of someone who is not able to do so. In fact, Dan Rather will go down in history, if free people write the histories, as the father of fake news — the very epitome of not being able to handle the truth and fashioning an alternative to it.
Fake news is not the same thing as media bias; media bias has been around since Dan Rather was reporting balls and strikes at minor league baseball games, and longer than that. When Richard Nixon lost his race for governor of California in 1962, he excoriated the press for its Leftist bias and said, “You won’t have Nixon to kick around anymore, because, gentlemen, this is my last press conference.” In 1971, journalist Edith Efron published a book entitled The News Twisters, demonstrating that there had been serious media bias in its coverage of the 1968 presidential election. And since then, of course, the problem of biased news reporting has gotten exponentially worse.
Dan Rather, however, was much more than just biased. His downfall, after nearly a quarter century as anchor of CBS Evening News, came in 2004 when he ran with a story about 1973 memos. The memos apparently showed that President George W. Bush had shirked his duties as a member of the Texas Air National Guard, and that his commanding officer had been pressured to give him a better evaluation than he deserved. While Rather insisted they were authentic, it quickly came to light that the memos had been typed on a modern-day computer, not an early-1970s-era typewriter.
CBS and Rather finally admitted that the documents in question — which, of course, could have given the presidential election to Democrat candidate John Kerry (horror of horrors) — could not be authenticated. Faced with clear evidence that Rather was so avid to bring down George W. Bush that he didn’t take basic and necessary precautions to ensure that the memos were authentic, CBS declined to renew Rather’s contract. For Rather, the anti-Bush memos had been too good to check.
There is more. Read the rest here.

For me, it is more proof the Left has took over the media. There is a news magazine called “The Atlantic”, which had a few months ago maligned Dr ROBERT MALONE,
the mRNA vaccine inventor . It is that Same Technique that Pfizer has used to make its vaccine. Malone is critical of it.
a) He knows what he is talking about,and he was banned by Twitter.
b) Shortly after Malone was banned he did an long interview with JOE ROGAN ( a member of the “Intellectual Darkweb”, which includes people like Jordan Peterson, Dave Rubin Ben Shapiro,etc )
Malone says there is disinformation and repressed information on COVID vaccines resembling “mass psychosis.”
Because of Twitter’s censorship of Dr Malone, a lot, a lot of more people know who he is, why he says NOT to vaccine CHILDREN,and other things.
c) Malone’s interview with Rogan is full of information about the 1 ) origins of COVID, the manipulations and maneuvers of public health decisions,
2) the story of how India broke the COVID death cycle,
3) and whole lot of other things that discredit entirely the COVID industrial complex.

Here is another example of Fake News,this time by MUSLIMS.
1) The FLN (Front de Liberation Nationale ) of ALGERIA was a TERRORIST organization that killed innocent European civilians living in Algeria.
They wanted independence and Lied to Western Intellectuals, saying they were Secular, Non-Religious. We know today it was taqiya, they were ISLAMIST from the start.
For example,the FLN had a newspaper in FRENCH, but with an ARABIC title:
“El MOUJAHID”, saying Mujahid means “Combatant”. A Lie: it means “Jihad Fighter, Holy War Fighter”. Any Algerian reading the title knew right away it had a connection with Islam.
2) In 1945 there was a demonstration, a few Algerians were killed, and the Algerians went on a rampage killing 100 innocent EUROPEANS in Algeria ( the first one was an 8 year old Jewish girl ) in the SETIF region.
As a result the French army had vengeance and,according to the FLN, killed 40,000.
It was a lie, French scholar ROGER VETILLARD, has examined all the data, the true figure was less, 7,000 to 10,000.
3) They faked a MASSACRE in Paris, on October 17,1961.
They claimed 120 Algerians were killed by the police. Serious scholars have found out it was a hoax claim, taqiyah,one is French scholar BERNARD LUGAN.
Doomer says
4) Also the FLN has Always claimed the French killed 1 MILLION Algerians in the Algerian war, scholars have checked and say at most it was 400,000.
David Longfellow says
Rather pontificating on truth. Oh the irony.
Noneya says
The one who couldn’t handle the truth was the FAKE NEWS reporter who got it started since FJB was the obvious chant.
DEMOCRAT/RINO = TRAITOR
DNC = Communist Party USA
Walter Sieruk says
The reality of the truth is that “Let’s Go Brandon” is right . To elaborate a bit more .To do this the question must be asked “Who is Joe Biden ? ” Answer , Joe Biden is a corrupt ,lying unethical , bribe taking politician who such a loser the he had to cheat to make in appear the he “won” the November 2020 national Presidential election. Biden didn’t do this alone he had the help of other in high and low political power all of who are just as sinister but more intelligent than him.
That election fraud got that puppet “President” Biden into the Oval Office of the White House where he is the stooge of others in America and overseas who use him as their tool to harm the United States and to advance the Communist -Islamic agenda.
Those higher up’s in that Red/Green alliance are with their scheming insidious goal are just as dangerous and they are also evil.
They have their zombie like pseudo “President ” Biden in Office and it should be very clear by now that this is the first time in the history of the United States that this nation has no real “genuine” US President. Instead this county now only has a criminally appointed figurehead as a pretender Chief Executive of the nation of America.
This is unbelievable , treacherous , treasonous despicable and heinously wrong.
Joe Biden is a bogus “president.”
Walter Sieruk says
The truth is that it may also be justly said “Let’s Go Brandon.” For Joe Biden is an incompetent weak feeble-minded awful old man. Biden is a problem for America as well as the other Western nations that since he’s sitting in the Oval Office masquerading as a real US President.
With all that power and influence at his command, Biden is a very dangerous incompetent weak feeble-minded old man..
In addition, Biden deserves no respect, not even a little bit, none at all. Speaking just for myself, the only emotion that I have for Biden is a strong feeling of contempt.
Walter Sieruk says
This saying “Let’s Go Brandon” is fitting to describe that farce of a President. In addition, that awful old man may also be called “Big Brother” Biden
For Biden is traitorous to America and the American people. So much so, let us not be nave about him, that if possible he would inflect upon American and Americans a socialist /Marxist tyranny if he could.
As the type of tyrannical government as in, the classic novel 1984 by George Orwell that was later made into a movie. In which , is headed by “Big Brother,” who issued a new speak dictionary with taught “Peace is war” and “Love is hate” and “Freedom is slavery” as well as “Ignorance is strength” and that the State headed by Big Brother declared that if it say “2+2 = 5 then it is 5.”
To add to this folly the Patriot pro – Trump rally in Washing DC is now called an “insurrection.”
As the news commentator on Fox news, rightly, said, “That was not an Insurrection”
The mayhem that started was because of instigated by Antifa infiltrators and even the politically correct corrupted FBI. Likewise the real patriots at that rally are, By Biden leftist new speak are called “domestic terrorist.”
Many on them with being without being officially charged are still languishing in Federal prison and treated terribly under Biden , Big Brother , is doing his upmost , by abusing his presidential position and cover up such horrendous Constitutional human rights violations of those American citizens.
As the awfully treated character, Winston,, in the novel and movie when asked how he “feels about Big Brother ?’ Winston very understandably replied, “I hate him”
Likewise “Big Brother Biden” is responsible for wrecking America and depriving Conservatives of their basic civil and human rights , that Big Brother siting in the White House might not be worth the energy to hate, he surely deserves no respect and does deserve , by all informed Americans a strong feeling of contempt.
Walter Sieriuk says
With Joe Biden spreading the coronavirus throughout the United States by his porous US /Mexican border policy along with its the terrible drastic rise in many violent heinous and murderous crimes because of the same awful no secure border policy .
Also the many Americans who lost their jobs and the high gas and food prices because Biden’s interfering in the American free enterprise system with his socialist economics , it many justly be said “Let’s go “Brandon.”

Dan Rather, Father of Fake News, Claims ‘Let’s Go Brandon’ Really Means ‘You Can’t Handle the Truth’
……………….
This is only true regarding the “journalist” who lied and said that crowd was chanting “Let’s Go Brandon” instead of criticizing Biden in the first place.
Dano S. says
He is correct, but the part about not handling the truth applies to the Leftists, not any conservatives. After all, it was a Leftist/liberal reporter that tried telling us that the crowd chanting “Fuck Joe Biden” was really saying “Let’s go Brandon”. It’s just another case of the Left using their tactic of “Accuse others of what you yourself are guilty of doing” from Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals”, the Leftist bible.
