Oh, look........NO doubt they'll (CBS brass) find a few sacrificial lambs to gut for this. Rather will survive; he's an "icon", donchaknow. To fire Rather would be a HUGE and VERY public admission of their complicity in this plot (no other way to describe it), and they cannot allow that to happen.
A producer here, an exectutive producer there, chest-thumping about how they must "maintain their integrity and have taken appropriate steps", yada yada......you see it coming. Then the rest of us will be told to just shut up, move along, case closed.
CBS needs to take heed, though. It won't work. We are NOT going to let it go. When a major broadcast network decides to go after a sitting President in an election year in the shabbiest, most obviously partisan way imaginable, then they must know that this is WAR.
We have 'em by the short 'n' curlies, and we aren't letting this one slide, CBS.
