With all the fake news coming out of right field, ie Fox News, Breitbart, twitter and that potato head White House mouthpiece with the tragic makeup and Rose Nyland wardrobe, it's hard to tell who you can trust for information these days, but one thing I know for sure is that you can always rely on Dan Rather for the truth. With roots going back to the Civil Rights Movement, Watergate and the war in Vietnam, he's a giant of broadcast journalism who has seen and reported on it all, and has proven to be a steady hand and voice of reason in these toxic times. Giving voice to the marginalized and calling out hypocrisy through his website News and Guts and his weekly Sirius radio show Dan Rather's America, he also influenced one of R.E.M.'s best songs What's the Frequency, Kenneth? after being attacked by two assailants repeating the phrase "Kenneth, what's the frequency?", making him cooler than most grandpas out there.
