A little biride familiar with discussions at CBS News tells me that the network suits will announced Dan Rather's replacement the day they release the report about the faked memos.
I guess the aim is to distract from the bad news by creating two headlines instead og just one.

By the way--Yassar Arafat is dead, and she cried.I guess I should read all of the replies, then comment. (I made basically the same comment in the previous post.) She is so transparent.

OK, I'm guess I'm the first to place a bet on that the report will be REALLY damning to Rather (which it should be) and that it will come out in its' entirety (names might be redacted though).
I don't think this plan to release both the report and the new talking head's name at the same time is an attempt to split attention... rather, it is an attempt to show that the CBS suits "fired" Rather without actually saying "you're fired!".
I also wager that the report shows that when confronted with no one willing to verify the authenticity of the papers, Rather overruled with something just like he said later on, '[possibly] Fake, but true'.

Worse yet, they want to FORCE her against her will to act liberal and avoid any mention of why she is replacing Dan the man! It is also a rumor she will be forced to do it for a paltry 20 mil a year! furthermore, She doesn't know anything and know one wants to help like where they keep the blank forged documents for broadcast or where the finished one are! We need to help her, form a coalition to ... lol enough punning!
C-BS is innocent! wait! wait! thats a lie too! lol
okay, there losers! satisfied!

Yassir has lately been reported to be NOT undead, but it could change for the better in the past.

I was hoping that they would put Rather out period and give him the opportunity to stay at home raising horses or something. I don't even want him cleaning windows for any news station.
