Rather and CBS executives say the decision to focus on work as a 60 Minutes correspondent was prompted by soul-searching over the summer, not the 60 Minutes story.

I'm not sure what this means. First, I don't think you can seriously search souls that you don't believe exist. Second, if the fawning Rather did over Bill and Hillary and Saddam Hussein never embarrassed CBS puppeteers nothing that 60 Minutes could do would so embarrass them.

If CBS has been searching the hollows where souls should be, I find it interesting they and other networks continue to run news organizations as hobbies. I admit that "News" is sort of an intangible product. Still, a product that many have sacrificed their lives gathering ought to be treated with more respect than network executives give it. If any other business lost market share the way the network news organizations have, the house cleaning that would take place would be awesome to see. Yet for decades, the networks have sauntered along oblivious and uncaring.

They care, it's just about their politics not their bottom line. But it seems the cupboard is bare and they need to make some money to continue their journey toward socialist bliss.
