I am trying to remember something that happened with CBS many years ago. I believe it had to do with defaming the reputation of a military officer, and they lost.
Perhaps Congressman Billybob will remember this.

Your memory is correct. The Commander of American forces in Vietnam sued Time magazine, and succeeded. (It is VERY difficult to win such a case, however, because of the Sp. Ct. case of NY Times v/ Sullivan.)
