"...can you impeach a network broadcaster?"

He's already been "impeached." He just hasn't been removed yet. AFAIK, there's only one way to do that. Hurt the sponsors and keep hurting them.

Meanwhile, pundits seem to smell blood.

"CBS News and top anchor Dan Rather are digging in their heels — and just may be digging their own journalistic graves," a New York Post editorial said yesterday.

"If the documents are proven to be fake, it will be a terrible, devastating blow," former NBC News President Larry Grossman told the Wall Street Journal. "People will be fired, the program loses its credibility and Dan Rather ends a distinguished career with his reputation besmirched."

In a New Republic column, Andrew Sullivan said: "When a news anchor presents false information and then tries to cover up and deny his errors, he has ceased to be a journalist. I'd like to say that Dan Rather needs to resign from his profession. But, judging from the last few days, he already has."

To some, the damage is already done.

"Whatever credibility remains at CBS News is over. And so, possibly, is Dan Rather's career," Cal Thomas declared yesterday in his syndicated column.

What's the best way to do that? Should we start a thread soley for that purpose? Name names and keep it bumped? Is there one active now?

Yep; I'll do so as soon as a thread is posted naming those sponsors. As I don't watch C-BS, or the other alphabet channels (and haven't since the 2000 election....their left-wing bias almost made me more ill than Algore's attempted coup), I'll wait patiently to add the sponsors to my boycott list.

I believe the French boycott has quite effectively hurt the other traitors to the USA.
