But the damage has been done. CBS ran this story with the "gouging" spin a couple of nights ago, and I would be amazed if they revisited the story with a retraction.

Actually CBS continues to fan the flames

WTOP - a CBS news radio station in DC was running a lead story today about how Halliburton, VP Dick Cheney's former company, has grabbed the only copy of the audit report that was the source of the pricing information and refuses to hand it over. The guy who originally broke the report failed to make a copy. Apparently the very information that triggered this "news event" came from a Halliburton internal audit that nobody on the outside had a right to look at in the first place. Halliburton has suggested that whomever leaked the info may have broken the law by simply reading the report.

CBS radio was spinning this as a scandalous cover-up this afternoon. Far from retraction they're gonna drag as much innuendo out of this as they possibly can.
