I may be wrong but I believe Linda Vester was at NBC. Even if she spent time at CBS, she has a reputation for thoroughness that Rather is certainly lacking...
-- Snip --Prior to joining FNC, Vester was an anchor/correspondent for NBC News as well as host of Today in America on MSNBC. While at NBC, she anchored NBC News at Sunrise from 1996-1998. From 1992-1996, Vester served as a correspondent covering major news events for the network and Weekend Today, including the crash of TWA Flight 800, the Olympic Park bombing, the Montana Freeman standoff and the Rwandan war.
Before this, she served as a reporter for NBC Newschannel and WFLA-TV (NBC) in Tampa, Florida, where she provided extensive coverage of Operation Desert Storm in the Persian Gulf.
Vester began her career at NBC in 1990 as a researcher and producer based in New York. A graduate of Boston University (magna cum laude) with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Journalism, Vester also earned an honors diploma from the Sorbonne in France and was a Fulbright Scholar of Middle East affairs based in Egypt.
