One of the best things about social media is that people have the ability to express any and of their thoughts. Also, one of the worst things about social media is that people have to express any and all of their thoughts.
For instance, former CBS News anchor Dan Rather posted on social media that California Rep. Devin Nunes of essentially making things up.
Devin Nunes spins more fairy tales than Hans Christian Andersen.

Rather, even after decades in the news business, still must not understand the word irony.
You’ll remember Rather was ousted at CBS after it was revealed that he ran a story on former President George W. Bush’s military service based on phony documents.
Sometimes, Dan, it’s better to just sit things out. Those on social media also let the disgraced newsman know that it might have been better for him to just keep his mouth shut on such a topic.
Dan Rather – the most dishonest journalist in American history. Congratulations Dan!

Was it Nunes who made up the story about George W. Bush’s service in the Texas Air National Guard? Who made up that story? I can’t seem to remember.
