We'll be the judge of what is appropriate, you Democrat. Could this be why Dan the Ham is blaming his boss?

Commenting on the upcoming U.S. presidential election, Redstone said that while Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) was a "nice guy," the re-election of President Bush would be best for Viacom's interests, since the Administration backed deregulation and other issues that would help the company.

My bet is there's been a run on whitewash paint at the hardware stores near SeeBS H.Q.

probe would be "appropriate--and the consequences will be appropriate. Liberal for, "We won't be doing a damn thing."

Demand a criminal investigation into this incident. The forgery of Texas Air National Guard documents is a felony, and there are grounds to investigate a conspiracy related to the forgery of those documents.

Yes, he did sell a chunk.
That first Friday after the story broke.
It's on FR.

Sumner M. Redstone, chairman and chief executive of Viacom ... CBS' parent, vowed that the results of a recently announced probe would be "appropriate ..." I guess unloading 12 million dollars worth of the company's stock is at least one "appropriate" response in Redstone's world. Gotta keep those assets liquid and easily transportable, you know.

C-BS had the perfect opportunity to boost their ratings out of the water, but once again fell on their faces. If they'd fired Blather on the spot stating they are for truth and justice, viewers would have actually gotten up off the couch to switch the channel to CBS.
To: mabelkitty
Redstone did not like CBS getting caught....

Rather took a huge gamble. He tried to "take down the King" but didn't kill him.
I really believe he will face a suspension at the very least which could very well cause him to resign. (fingers crossed)

Reacting to the document scandal at CBS News, Sumner M. Redstone, chairman and chief executive of Viacom (nyse: VIAb - news - people ), CBS' parent, vowed that the results of a recently announced probe would be "appropriate--and the consequences will be appropriate."Affiliates, if you believe this, then I got this nifty bridge in Brooklyn I wanna sell ya...

Redstone needs to be asked if it is "appropriate" for his networks to be promoting a draft lie!
He and the CBS/MTV should be called on it.
To: mabelkitty
Translation:
Mary Mapes will take the blame,
Dan Rather will skate.
