To the best of my knowledge, CBS/Rather have only admitted to possessing copies, not the originals. By now, we all know what the "originals" would look like -- freshly created MS Word docs on 8.5x11 printer paper. Besides, enough is already known about these copies to prove that the "originals" would be forgeries too. In short, the evidence against CBS/Rather is massive, overwhelming and devastatingly conclusive.
CBS will only come clean when the sponsors and affiliates start deserting them in droves, the board starts talking tough and shareholders' lawyers have filed.
shareholders' lawyers have filed You know, I hate lawyers, and deplore most class-action lawsuits as doing nothing more than lining their pockets. But I will make an exception for this. I hope that CBS is sued and bled white.
