CBS bosses hiding truth - Dan Rather

Dan Rather slammed CBS Tuesday for trying to keep his court fight with the network out of the public eye.

The newsman - who has filed a $70 million lawsuit against the Tiffany network, where he anchored the "CBS Evening News" for 24 years - said "corporate overlords" are conspiring to withhold several key documents.

The 76-year-old was back in Manhattan Supreme Court for a hearing on his suit, which accuses CBS of sidelining him to make nice with the White House following a September 2004 report that questioned President Bush's Vietnam-era military service.

Rather left the anchor's chair in March 2005 and was limited to being a bit player on "60 Minutes" before departing from CBS.

"It is a fact that corporate overlords working in secret collusion with the powers in Washington are intruding far too often in far too many newsrooms," he said.

The documents that Rather wants to see include a CBS-commissioned private investigator's report that he believes could back up his version of the disputed story about Bush's stint in the Texas Air National Guard.

CBS said it is "absolutely confident" the documents support its position. "When and if there is a trial ... all such documents introduced at trial will be made public," the network said.

Well, Dan, that has never stopped you before from just making some up. Maybe Mapes can help you out here; I'm sure there is a Kinko's nearby.

Paging Dr. Kimball, Paging Dr. Kimball, you have just nailed it.....That Dimbulb Rather should be behind bars......

Dan Rather's latest gig as a spokesman:

"I use it, and so should you!"

cBS is trying to protect what’s left of Dan Rather’s dignity and reputation, but Rather’s is too driven by partisan motivation to realize it.

"It is a fact that corporate overlords working in secret collusion with the powers in Washington are intruding far too often in far too many newsrooms," he said.

Sounds like Dan is suffering from the paranoia that sometimes accompanies dementia.

[Right Cal Gal]

Until Dano can explain that away, he’s toast.
My guess is CBS will be deposing Buckhead and Charles Johnson. At least they should get a free trip to NYC out of it.

Shh! You’ll summon the kittens of war.

BRING ON THE VIKING KITTIES!
