The Moody College of Communications at the University of Texas at Austin announced a new journalism award named after disgraced former CBS News anchor Dan Rather that recognizes “collegiate and professional journalists who overcome obstacles like stonewalling and harassment to speak truth to power”:
TEXAS Moody ~ We are introducing the @DanRather Medals for News and Guts to recognize collegiate and professional journalists who overcome obstacles like stonewalling and harassment to speak truth to power.
Uh ... if you're going to "speak truth to power," you need to have TRUTH on your side, first ... and Dan Rather was blatantly shown to be intentionally manufacturing a pathetic LIE about George W. Bush.
No, really! They’re serious. From the dean of the college:
Jay Bernhardt ~ Dan Rather is not only a legend — he’s the namesake of new awards honoring his career and the work of today’s journalists. We are thrilled to announce the @DanRather Medals for News and Guts.
Wow ... the UT School of Journalism is run by a blithering, disingenuous idiot. Not really too surprising, though ... this is a school of "journalism" after all. I suppose you have to provide some other programs, besides gender and race studies, in which the retards of society can enroll, eh?
tsar becket adams ~ There is no bottom.
Apparently not.
Who knew there was a statute of limitations for fake news:
tsar becket adams ~ Dan Rather did in the 2004 presidential election what the Russians did in 2016 with Facebook memes.
Except forged AWOL docs on "60 Minutes" >>> Jesus arm-wrestling Satan memes.
And now Rather has an "excellence in journalism" award named for him.
And this does say a lot about the state of academia today:
Lord BT ~ Lie in an attempt to influence a Presidential election and J schools will name a medal after you. This says it all about the state of J schools and journalism.
What's the frequency, Kenneth?!
We look forward to UT’s business school giving out an award to Al Sharpton next:
Nathan Wurtzel (((Slight Return))) ~ The Al Sharpton Medal for Paying Taxes
GOOD ONE!
