Judge Dismisses the Majority of Dan Rather's Lawsuit

Former CBS Evening News anchor Dan Rather's $70 million lawsuit against his former employers may still make it to court, but it won't be packing nearly as much punch. Manhattan judge Ira Gammerman dismissed four of the seven claims made in Rather's lawsuit, particularly those that name Viacom chairman Sumner Redstone (Viacom is CBS' former parent company), CBS president Leslie Moonves and former CBS News president Andrew Heyward. Rather's lawsuit, which was filed in September, claimed that he was treated unfairly by CBS News after a September 2004 broadcast about the military service of President Bush in Vietnam was proven to be flawed. He also claimed his reputation in the final months of his contract was damaged because he was made a "scapegoat" in an effort to appease the Bush administration.With the dismissal, the suit has now been boiled down to a garden-variety contract dispute. With all of the sensational political accusations and sought punitive damages dismissed, the remai... read more

Dan Rather: CBS "Overlords" Are Hiding Court Docs

Appearing in Manhattan Supreme Court on Tuesday for a hearing in his lawsuit against CBS, Dan Rather claimed that key documents are being withheld from him, namely a private investigator's report he believes could back up his infamously disputed story abut President Bush's service in the National Guard. "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," attested the veteran reporter, who is suing CBS for benching him in 2005 in order to suck up to the White House.CBS counters that the docs in question actually support its case, and "will be made public" once introduced at trial. read more
