I would like to think this. The real question I have is if 60 Minutes is actually going to have Rather join the staff or is this BS also?
I don't think if Don Hewitt was still running the show Rather would be any part of 60 Minutes.
As it is they might have Rather for a short time then cut him loose. Only time will tell.
Chances are they are easing Rather out with a nice fat pension and severance and maybe a contract where they will pay him to do nothing like they did Cronkite.
If they really do cut him loose I feel he will show up somewhere like maybe CNN, but then again who knows.

It's BS. Rather made a deal with CBS executives to save face on both sides. The man has completely lost credibility. He won't be allowed back on the air once he leaves the evening news, I predict.

You might be right, but I believe Dan Rather is now seriously damaged goods. Remember Daniel Schorr, who I believe used to be a pretty big reporter and commentator on CNN. He mouthed off and disappeared from the face of the earth. Last time I heard from him he was commenting on NPR as a third string reporter. Rather is washed up.
