Rather won't be gone in a week. He is like a tenured college professor at CBS. It would be far too damaging to the public image of the network for him to be fired or forced to quit. He will retire on time, early next year.

But Rather's ultimate fate is going to be much worse. He is going to be the case study for shoddy journalism in future textbooks. Rather's lack of journalistic integrity, and his tortured denial of the facts when they are punching him right in the nose, is going to act as a warning to those budding journalists who would think to perpetrate this type of fraud.
