Dan Rather Chokes Up at 'Truth' Premiere, Praises Film for Accuracy
 Lulz! Fake but accurateIconic CBS news anchor Dan Rather on Saturday praised the Robert Redford-starring Rathergate movie Truth for its accuracy and performances ahead of its world premiere at the Toronto Film Festival. "accuracy" "Naturally I was pleased, and pleasantly surprised. This film is very accurate. A film called Truth should be accurate," Rather told the Hollywood Reporter during a pre-screening party. James Vanderbilt's movie centers on Rather's 2006 exit from CBS after a 60 Minutes fake investigation two years earlier into U.S. President George W. Bush's alleged draft-dodging during the Vietnam war. Rather praised the performances of Redford as the famed CBS newsman and Cate Blanchett as his CBS 60 Minutes email producer Mary Mapes. "The acting is superior. I think it's an emotional film. Of course people will say I found it emotional because it's about me. But I say that as objectively as I can," he said. "because I'm a partisan liar" Posted by: Frank G 2015-09-13 |
