I dunno. The NY Times is still bruised from Jayson Blair, but still is a force to be reckoned with. CNN survived "Tailwind", the fake story about US troops using nerve gas in Laos, and they're still around. That story didn't hurt them. Fox News is killing them, but that's well after the fact.

It would be nice to think that this is the end of CBS News, or certainly of Dan Rather, but history hasn't shown this to be a certainty. Probably the best we can hope for is that CBS News becomes an economic liability to the network, and they just give it up. That outcome is certainly conceivable within the next 5-10 years.

Yup. I'm not placing any bets that CBS News is dead. Nonetheless, they're angry and scared. And they know they can no longer count on the stupidity and laziness of their audience. Hopefully this can result in changes for the better.

Sure they're both still around but they're also merely shadows of what they once were.

Neither NYT nor CNN can through their weight around like they used to. CBS will join them in the shadow world where only the kool-aid drinkers will give them the time of day.

And there are fewer and fewer kool-aid drinkers every day.
