He can't "take the fall for it". Too much on the record for that to fly.
A news organization with the prestige of CBS cannot be seen as falling for the writings of a disgruntled Texan who was in the NG. What credibility does he have? Who is the umimpeachable source? CBS knows and they are not quite ready to hand him/her out to dry at this point.
I know.
But CBS is going to make a cgood try of it.
If we keep the pressure on them, they will eventually have to publicly admit who the supposed unimpeachable source was that Rather kept referring to.
But for now, it looks like they're going to try and have Burkett take the fall.
We should not let up though.
