This is disturbing, but has been developing for a while. The way around it? Publicly owned infrastructure including broadband. The age of traditional TV is over, turn off your traditional TV service and switch to independent news sources. Then, create a local, online news source of your own broadcasting over your cheap publicly owned fiber optic network. For example, we have 2, legit, local news sources in Bellingham, WA. nwcitizen.com and KMRE. These we made largely as a response to the pretend news that our joke of a paper the Herald, owned by the McClatchy group, puts out. Every community needs to do this as quickly as possible since the Sinclair Group, McClatchy Group, Comcast/MSNBC, the Big Telecoms, etc.and this administrations handling of media in general, are the real threat to our Democracy. The good news is that there is a way around it all with modern technology.
Amen on both points. Dan Rather and his ability to help us hear & listen to the voices of all is a huge asset to TYT.
One lingering question I have is what happened to the very end of each of his recorded segments March 26 to the present? Each recorded episode seems to omit his closing words of “Stay steady.”
Is the very end of each Dan Rather episode now only available when viewed before each live 6-8 pm TYT news? These archived Rather episodes seem to end too abruptly. Thanks TYT & thanks Dan Rather!!!!!
Thanks for another great show Dan! I would just like to point out the fact that the Norwegian terrorist Anders Behring Breivik also used a semi auto Ruger rifle… Witch is now banned in Norway, along with all other semi auto rifles (unless you have a special permit from the police).
When you have Dan Rather calling bullshit on Sinclair… then you cannot claim to have “news” networks.
Sinclair is a propaganda arm of the Corporate Establishment.
I am surprised to see Dan Rather stated as being on Sinclair Broadcast Group. Isn’t this the conservative group that bought the Tribune stations and forced anchors to broadcast propaganda?

Dan Rather on TYT is the highlight of my news week.

Would love it if TyT cataloged Dan’s previous shows and made them available to members (on this site).
I left a comment on RCP about this clip I said ” Seems to be a lot of Sinclair employees leaving comments”
They took it down 3 times ??

Dan is THE MAN! Every American should be listening to Dan Rather.

Dan Rather is a legend and an inspiration. Can he be given some TYT accolade? Perhaps the Godfather of TYT?
I like the call out to MDS black students, who haven’t been given the voice that their white classmates have been given.
haha I like it!

I think they meant that he’s speaking on the subject of the Sinclair broadcast group. But yes, you are correct in who they are.
I recognize my misunderstanding now. I had not listened to the commentary at the time of my post.
Simple mistake, I had to re-read it myself.
