27. There is a movie "Truth"...

where Robert Redford plays Dan Rather.

It's an interesting movie, but what you have to keep in mind about the 'Bush Letter' is that the letter itself was under attack because the font that was used in the letter didn't exist at the time that the letter was written.

Once the font was discovered, that was all that they talked about. They stopped discussing the likelihood that the content of the letter was correct. The producer of the segment was fired, the team dismantled and Dan Rather 'retired'.

Many believe that it was a setup by Rove.
