From The American Spectator
According to a CBS News producer operating out of the network’s 57th Street facilities, Rather and his supporters now believe the controversy surrounding the four discredited Texas National Guard memos has been engineered by the Bush campaign.
“All you have to see to understand this is the report that John Roberts did on Bush’s appearance at the National Guard convention Tuesday,” says a CBS News producer. “Rather’s guys are now going after the president of the United States in a way probably no news organization has ever done before. This is now deeply personal to them.”
“In the end, it probably doesn’t matter,” says the CBS News producer. “We’re sunk. Our reputations have been impugned, and if we didn’t look like we were shilling for Kerry a week ago, we look like we’re trying to at least protect a source who gave us these documents who might be supportive of Kerry or at least the Democratic Party.”
Maybe there will be a palace revolt at CBS yet.
