The general manager of Charlotte’s WBTV, one of the South’s largest and oldest CBS affiliates, has called on the network to suspend Dan Rather.
In an e-mail to network executives, Channel 3’s Mary MacMillan said she believed the anchor of the “CBS Evening News” should be taken off the air until an investigation is resolved into the documents used in a report about President Bush’s military service.
She also said CBS should suspend Andrew Heyward, president of the news division, and Mary Mapes, the producer of the “60 Minutes” segment, until the inquiry is finished.
For the NC Freepers Ping List?
Glad to see someone from the CBS affliates finally get some backbone. Wonder if it will last?
Suspension bump.
This is one of the biggest stations in the country they will be listened to. I personally think that although Dan Rather will not be "fired" sometime next year a retirement announcement will take place.
