Dan Rather is letting his star fade. Along with it, his once bright reputation as a CBS anchor and the man on the scene of the JFK assassination, is now floundering on the never-trump train.
And worse, his train seat is next to Don Lemon whose CNN broadcast, ranks lower than Nickelodeon.
Moreover, James Woods put Dan back in his place with Dan’s illogical comparison of Pres Trump to an Orwell novel.
Once upon a time, there is a book written by George Orwell in 1949, entitled “1984“.
Very basically, it was a tale of a society where individuality was banned. Furthermore, the entire population was made to conform to government. In part, through mass media.
In this Orwellian society, if an incident occurred and it is not what the government wanted the people to know, then it would erase any photos, newspaper reports or any film and thereby “re-writing” history.

Dan Rather decides that he would attack President Donald J. Trump on CNN’s Don Lemon show and paint POTUS as “the Government” in 1984.
“[George] Orwell, what he wrote, it’s practically a shooting script for Donald Trump,” the once famous Rather tells the CNN audience.
Rather continues as if he, is, himself, DJT, “There is a method to this, and the method is to convince people that the only truth is the truth that comes from me, the ultimate power.”
Dan switches back to himself and tells the audience, “As several people have said before me, he is not just attacking the truth, he wants to annihilate the truth. He wants to move us completely into the post-truth political era in which there’s no such thing as objective facts.”
This is all fine and dandy if Dan would rather fool the audience at CNN, except leave it to James Woods to pull Dan’s rather long and sordid career out of the closet!
In an epic throw-down of truth, Woods tweets, “Weren’t you fired by CBS for participating in outright election shenanigans, replete with forged documents? That was you, wasn’t it? That’s Orwell, my friend. Have you no shame, sir? At long last, have you no shame?”
