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.

Howard has also indicated to colleagues that he would subpoena specific CBS documents, including the e-mails of top executives.

Developing...

ASKED TO RESIGN, 3 AT CBSNEWS HIRE LAWYERS INSTEAD: More than month after CBS head Moonves requested resignations of 3 top journos who helped oversee flawed report on Bush National Guard -- they have yet to step down...

Just posted on Drudge and didn't see it here. But this is going to get good. I love it when they start going for each others jugulars.

After having to watch CBS for three months while I was taking care of my Dad, I find this unbelievably satisfying.

These bad boys are finally getting the information on their ratings -- these creeps live and die by ratings...and it is sinking in. They are in a tail-spin, something they have never before had to worry about -- but they have been yanked off of their elitist pedestal and they just don't know what to do...so they are at each other like mongrels fighting over a carcass...LOVE IT!!!

If that is fake butter - I will agree. It is more consistent.

Wow that is the first time someone has told me that they don't like my Nik. But I was not creative enough to think of something else. If I could think of something else I would change it. I also think that she is evil.

Subpoenaed e mails!

Can't wait to see what skeletons are found in that closet.

Hello... Joe Lockhart, is that you in there?

Hmmm....
  1. Kerry started it all by trying to coordinate his campaign with the aged hippies unsuccessfully trying to resurrect the Vietnam era anarchist days.
  2. The memo forgery that crowned the 4 year CBS witch hunt of President Bush stemmed from McAwful's "AWOL, Bush=draft dodger" lies....

    ergo....
  3. Vietnam has become CBSs Next Vietnam.

I hear the sound of chickens coming home to roost

Oh yeah! Let it ALL come out, lol.

There's nothing more entertaining than a bunch of arrogant libs turning on each other. This ought to be good!

I didn't like it because you give her too much credit. Fear is no motivator. She is just a good politician - but not fooled by most. Just a personal preference - I think you give her too much credit....

There will be no closure at CBS until Rather, Heyward, and Moonves are fired outright.

agree. The created some scapegoats and hoped the tide would go back out to sea. These scapegoats are going to be given the gift horse - just hope they look it in the mouth.

I wonder what Mary Mapes is going to do when she sees Josh Howard making CBS back down and/or sues CBS.

Remember the last time we saw Ms. Mary she was one angry lady. And Mapes was closer to this story then Howard was. Howard's actions may goad her into action.

Let the games begin!

The idea of Rather, Heyward, and Moonves had nothing to do with the "CBS" flap is a crock.

This can't happen to a better bunch :)
