I’d like you to be right, but I’m skeptical. With Rather at the desk, CBS News is consistently well behind NBC and ABC in the ratings. A discredited Rather would do even worse. That sounds like good news for the other networks, not bad news.

I’m also skeptical that information that impugns Rather’s objectivity will matter very much. He is widely known to be a Democratic Party water boy, so what else is new? It’s like an expose of the NYT for being a liberal newspaper and the editorial mouthpiece for the left wing of the Democratic Party. Film at eleven.
