Then referring to the Fox Trump dust-up, Dan Rather told the same network he could not be sure that Trump and Fox did not preplan their dispute.(conspiracy zone) Rather went on to compare Trump to George Wallace, Barry Goldwater, Perot, denying he was directly comparing them of course. (Maddow had already done a Nixon-media comparison to Trump vs. Jorge Ramos)
Too bad it went against their narrative that the Fox is in collusion with Trump and that Fox decides, or runs, elections on the right. But immediately coming to mind is Obama’s sycophant media advocates who thought it was their job to get Obama elected.
Dan Rather ‘Suspicious’ Trump and Fox Are Faking Feud
By Mark Finkelstein | August 26, 2015 | MRC Newsbusters
When it comes to fake news stories, if anyone’s an expert it’s Dan Rather . . . The disgraced former CBS News anchor has a new twist on the vast right-wing conspiracy. Instead of plotting against poor innocents like Bill and Hillary, those conspiratorial conservatives are now creating phony feuds among themselves!
On Rachel Maddow’s show tonight, Rather declared himself “suspicious” about the battle between Donald Trump and Fox News, suggesting that Trump and Roger Ailes might have “gotten together and planned out” the feud for their mutual benefit.
For good measure, Rather went on to analogize Trump to segregationist presidential candidates George Wallace and Strom Thurmond.
Note: while floating his conspiracy theory, Rather admitted that he was “without very much evidence.” But when has that ever deterred Dan from attacking a Republican?
**See video interview
RACHEL MADDOW: Could Donald Trump, or could any of these candidates win the Republican nomination while also being at war with the Fox News channel specifically? Never really had anything like the Fox News channel in a previous era in history. It seems to me, that I believe that there can’t be a nominee without Fox’s support.
DAN RATHER: I tend to agree with that. However, Trump is raising that question anew. Now, having said that, and keeping in mind that reporters such as myself get paid not to be cynical, never cynical, but to be skeptical.
I’m a little suspicious, without very much evidence, but I’m a little suspicious of this battle between Trump and Fox. What we do know is that Trump is really smart. As I said when he started this run, don’t underestimate him. And Roger Ailes, whether you agree with his politics or not, another smart guy. Whether they’ve gotten together and planned this out or not, it works to their mutual benefit right now. Fox can argue, listen, we don’t give sweetheart deals to every Republican candidate and Trump can say: I tell you I’m independent and when I say I’m independent I’m really independent. Cause look at even Fox.

Dan Rather is “a little suspicious.” Well, Dan, we’re more than a little suspicious of you. Keep that tin foil hat shined up, I’ve a feeling you are going to need it. Trust me on that, just a feeling.
I’m learning a lot: Trump is now conspiring with Hillary Clinton, and he’s plotting with Roger Ailes at the same time. Oh, Donald is busy. And according to some, many of the pointy hat left, he’s conspiring with the RNC — has been since the Dark Ages. Rachael said he was created by Fox — who is just a mediabot for RNC. (that’s a double one) And he cannot get elected without Fox’s approval, per Maddow.(con-spir-acy) So there we are.
So if Fox is not “rubber stamping” Donald, get ready for Trump’s crash and burn– unbeknownst to him, wait… he must know — because, presumably if Fox made Trump, they can take him out. But so everyone throws a hissy fit if conservatives simply say, Fox tried to take Donald down. We’re nuts for suspecting that. But the rest of that Wallace, Goldwater, Perot, down the twisty road to the Fox conspiracy stuff….. woo-hoo-hoo!
They haven’t mentioned where Jeb Bush is in all this but it has to be coming. (Rather is drawing the schematic) The network who ran/runs interference for Obama. Is there a complete meltdown coming?

Just had a thought that more than likely already occurred to most. Rather probably believes he should now be considered a trustworthy commentator, because this time he stated he has no facts to back up his opinion. Big change for Dan and did so on the big time viewer network MSNBC. Great comeback Dan…

Yep, that fits. And spread it like wildfire when saying it was just opinion. He did seem to have thought it out. Trusted conspiracy theory, LOL. I think so.
I still want to know where Jeb Booosh fits in…you know, Inquiring minds. 😀

Pepp & Bull, remember when we were called “birthers” for our supposed conspiracy theory? I think for their obvious conspiracy theory we can still just call them “liars.”
Wish I’d bought stock in Reynolds Consumer back in the 80’s. Between their Reynolds Wrap for commie hats and Hefty Bags for them to tote around all their lies, I’d probably be a 1%er now.

Right, Dave must have forgotten that in their subterfuge, I mean lies. Gee, Dave we could have made a fortune. Look what Hillary did for pork bellies. (now she’s marketing manure)
Maybe we can figure out something like the Trump thumpers or Donald deniers? Look how long they ran that attack campaign — which was their WOC, War On the Constitution.
