War Inside CBS News (Drudge Siren Alert)
Drudge ^ | 2/15/05 | Drudge

Posted on 02/15/2005 6:23:14 PM PST by HRoarke

THE NEW YORK OBSERVER will report tomorrow: 'Former 60 Minutes Wednesday executive editor Josh Howard has told colleagues that before he resigns, the 23-year CBS News veteran will demand that the network retract remarks by CBS president Leslie Moonves, correct its official story line and ultimately clear his name'...

In the event of a lawsuit, Mr. Howard has told associates that he would like to see Moonves put under oath to talk about his own roles in the network's stubborn, hapless defense of the flawed segment on President Bush's National Guard service.

Looks like these guys are going down swinging. One can only hope that there are damning emails out there.

These people were probably just a few of the scapegoats. Now we'll see how high it went up the chain.

It looks like Mapes and the others are getting lawyers to fight too. A bloodbath with all of the leaks of damning info that are sure to come could destroy CBS News.

A man can dream can't he?

OK, sounds like that "2 to 2" score for new Media vs Old Media is only the score at the top of the third inning. I guess we have runners on base and Buckhead is still up to bat!!! Woo Hoo!

There are a few times, like this, where it might be fun to go to Drudgereport.com

Alas, as with a legion of other FReepers, I've erased his site from my favorites....Drudge seems to care not about all the little devils that end up on his readers' computers; so we ain't among 'em.

For those in doubt, just run your Adaware after your visit there.

I can only hope that some of the email state specifically that they (CBS) were trying to stop Bush from being elected.

What did Moonves, Rather and Mapes know about the felony and when did they know it. Can you say accomplice after the fact?

"...all of the leaks of damning info..."

Would that Rather's daughter be exposed as the missing link between the forgeries and CBS. Or, at the very least, don't we as the public have the right to know who did originate these foregeries and how they became disseminated?
