New York's top court Tuesday rejected Dan Rather's bid to reinstate his $70 million breach-of-contract lawsuit against CBS Corp.

Rather's motion was denied without comment Tuesday by the Court of Appeals.

CBS spokeswoman Shannon Jacobs said the network was pleased with the outcome.

Rather, who now produces an hourlong news program for cable channel HDNet, issued a statement calling the ruling "a grave miscarriage of justice."

Finger snap! Pfffft!

Geez, you think they could have appended a “Tough luck, dumba&&!” to the notification.

Courage!

Rather could have gone into history known as a very competent but very liberal journalist.

Now it’ll just be one for three. No one can reasonably describe his (justifiably) best-known show as “journalism” or “competent.”

Laughingstock. Or pitiable. Or both.

Yes, I meant to be more sarcastic than you.

“calling the ruling “a grave miscarriage of justice.””

Well Dan, your whole show was a grave miscarriage of justice for all the years it was on. You did grave injustice to the American people with your slanted view of the news.

“Rather, who now produces an hourlong news program for cable channel HDNet, issued a statement calling the ruling “a grave miscarriage of justice.”

He produces an hour long program for what?? Channel HDNet?
I’d say he already is in the grave........

[Right Cal Gal]

Uh, Dan? Letting OJ Simpson off was a “grave miscarriage of justice.” Not giving you $$$ for felonious use of forged government documents is “karma.”
