Dan Rather Sues CBS
Wednesday, September 19, 2007
This just in: Dan Rather is still pissed with his old network. The former "CBS Evening News" anchor is suing CBS, Viacom and three of his former bosses for $70 million dollars. Rather charges his old bosses with "intentional mishandling" of the aftermath of the "60 Minutes II" story that led to his exit from CBS nes in 2006. The story about President Bush's Air National Guard service relied on documents, which were quickly discredited. The story resulted in several news executives and producers leaving the network. Rather also stepped down from the anchordesk after 24 years. CBS responded to the lawsuit in a statement that said, “These complaints are old news and this lawsuit is without merit.”
