No. I think the entire Network is disabled.....physically, and mentally.

yep, I agree. About $7 billion should cover their agrievement.
that should come out in the civil trial, CBS can't hide behind the 5th there. Honestly there's enough out there now to show coordination between, Burkett, CBs, and Kerry to do the necessary damage to derail Kerry completely.
You "cannot prove that the documents are authentic"? Isn't that a bit feeble?
"I cannot prove that 1+1=4" is a true statement, too, but rather misses the point. I can't prove it because its false, and you can't prove the documents are authentic because they are fakes. Everyone who has seen the animated gif with the basis of your 'scoop' alternating with the MS Word document of the same content, typed with default settings KNOWS THE DOCUMENTS YOU WERE GIVEN WERE CHEAP FORGERIES.
Give it up. Admit you've been had, and go after the cheap forger with the agressive fervor 60 Minutes has been known for REGARDLESS OF WHERE IT LEADS. If you end up trashing some Kerry campaign operatives in the process--even highly placed ones--quels domages! You are supposedly a news organization not a pro-Democrat 527. If you don't, the only way you'll ever be able to restore any public confidence in your reporting or restore your division to its status as an asset for Viacom will be to fire everyone associated with 60 Minutes and the CBS Evening News and launch a national search for replacements--a national search with a goal of ideological balance, to assure the new staff has conservatives and liberals placed in equal numbers and with equal influence, and perhaps also a goal of partisan balance, likewise ensuring equal representation and influence for registered Republicans, registered Democrats and independents.
Why if you did that, you might not just reestablish your credibility as a news organization and your value to Viacom's stockholders, you might even gain market share at the expense of FOXNews!
I like the way I worked 'rather misses the point' in as an extended pun.
Interestingly, I am reading Brent's book right now on media bias. He has extensive info on Rather in it, but gives him credit for his reporting on the war on terror. I have a feeling if he could rewrite the book now, he might be less complimentary to the bozo.
Rather is only sorry that he got caught.

I guess CBS can now say the complaints from the VRWC is taping off.
And once having the memos, what made Burkett cede them to CBS BEFORE the quid pro quo discussion he required with the Kerry campaign?
If this isn't full-blown megalomania, I'm Sigmund Fraud.

We don't know that he didn't receive his Quid pro quo. They wouldn't announce it, and the liberal media would not report it even if they knew about it.
Well, he's limping along with an arrow in his butt, that's for sure. And he can't stop to pull it out because we're still tracking him.
He can hear our coyote calls as he struggles through the desert night, see our smoke signals as he trudges under the blazing noonday sun. Our Pajama Braves are casting lots for the honor of first coup, of hanging his scalp on that painted war pony. We taunt him from the ridge as the sun goes down in the blood-streaked west. We hoot in derision, near and then far, as he hides himself from the pallid moon, deep in a gully, fearful of sleep from which he may suddenly awake in terror.
He never should have said those things about our Chief.
Had forgotten about Harkin - anybody have contact info?

My point precisely. Why would a fairly savvy pol give away his only bargaining chip on faith? Ergo: Lockhardt spoke to him (or directed him, whatever) FIRST. Mapes got to Lockhardt, THEN things began to unfold--and not necessarily as Burkett describes.
LOL! Multi-tasking. For Dan, that would be telling two lies at the same time.
Awww, come on Dan... Your interview of Saddam Hussien before the war started took pages out of Larry King's official "softball" interview guide! Between you, CNN's hiding of facts of torture and other nifty abuses, and the three stooges who visited Iraq, McDermott pretty much saying that he trusted Hussien more than President Bush.
