Title: Court Tosses Dan Rather's Lawsuit Vs. CBS
Post by: bijou on September 29, 2009, 02:01:37 PM

Dan Rather's $70-million lawsuit against CBS for breach of contract and fraud has been tossed by a New York Supreme Court appellate division, the Los Angeles Times reported.

Tuesday's ruling dismissed the former CBS News anchor's claims he was removed from his anchor post after controversy over a report about President George W. Bush's Vietnam-era military service. Rather claimed that CBS sought to quell the story because of pressure from its then-parent company, Viacom, the newspaper reports.

HA-ha!  Too bad See-BS didn't have to spend $70 million fighting it before they won, though.

He actually said something that was unwittingly correct in a sound bite I saw of an interview on it, to the effect that big government had so heavily co-opted big media that it had rendered the media a useless whore (My phrase, his meaning).  Of course it did not appear that he realized the party technically out of power when he committed his ridiculous blunder was as much a part of big government as the one in power, and he was being played by them, nor that big media pretty much hated the Bush administration and had no such problem with respect to them.

I lost all respect for Rather during the Lewinsky scandal, when he had a one-on-one interview with Clinton and acted like a she-cat in heat stropping against a sweaty boot the entire time.  He acted the total simpering twit and turned in an apologia for Clinton, not an interview.  He stopped being a journalist that day, for me.
