2fer: Dan RATHER/CBS movie. & LIMBOsevic sez 10-12 *only* of us are driving his sponsors away.
Who are the other 11 of you?!1 In the snippet I caught in the car radio, LIMBOsevic was expanding on one of his usual memes, that he and his wingnuts have been wrongly portrayed for generations as being a minority, a fringe, out of the mainstream, whereas they really are, with their "Judeo-Christian" beliefs what this country was built on and are the real majority. He said that the media has been mostly responsible for this distortion in the past but that with social media, like Twitter, there are only about "ten or twelve" of us wacko Libs out there with algorithms to make us appear to be *thousands*, that it's why supposed outrage about TRUMP and other nutcases is a *manufactured* thing, which he then went to pains to relate to why he loses sponsors. He said that, he gets a new sponsor "widget company" and then ten or twelve of us with the algorithms SWAMP the poor things with hostile tweets that make the widgeteers panic because it looks like there are thousands of us, who turn out to be from way other geographic regions, not anybody would be nearby to be actual customers, so the widgeteers bail out of sponsoring him. LIMBOsevic was veiled in his references, hinting he was talking about his own situation.
Meanwhile, Ms Cindy ADAMS informs us that the RATHER/CBS movie with REDFORD and BLANCHETT is coming, with the quotes that Sumner REDSTONE wanted Shrub reelected, and Dan saying flat out that there was *nothing not true* in his Shrub/Natl Guard story. Looks like I'll finally be going to a movie theater again, for the first time since Michael MOORE's Fahrenheit 9/11, or was it ABBA Mama Mia!?!1.

[font size=5]The truth behind Dan Rather’s exit from CBS[/font]
by Cindy Adams
Dan Rather is coming to your local movie theater. At least the story behind why he’s no longer at CBS is. In “Truth,” Robert Redford plays Rather. Cate Blanchett plays his CBS producer Mary Mapes.
In 2004, Rather reported that President George W. Bush’s powerful father arranged to keep his son in the National Guard to prevent serving in Vietnam. The report caused such hoo-hah that a treasured 24-year anchorman lost his job.
Dan: “I’ve read the script. It’s serious. People behind it do a good job. It’s two great actors. You couldn’t want for a better cast. Redford playing me makes me feel humble — which is not a word usually associated with anchors.
“The nuanced, not preachy, script makes clear our report was true. Facts can’t be denied. But today it’s more about big corporations having big power than about truth. Bush was up for re-election. Sumner Redstone wanted him re-elected and would have his news division do what he wanted. What develops is the habit of pulling back, working from fear. ....
