He gets to keep his position on 60 Minutes II, which is the news program he used to release this "story."
It would have been better to see him fired from the 60 Minutes II program.
Oh please. His "punishment" was his "retirement" from the CBS Evening News anchor chair in March - when he was already planning to give that up this year anyway. He still gets to stay on 60 Minutes, and (in his and the media's minds, anyway) his "legacy" is intact. People like us who insist on bringing up his role in the TANG story will just summarily be dismissed as right-wing cranks.
(Actually, I think Rather and his media pals are deluding themselves here, but since he'll probably never set foot outside Manhattan again except to jet away to some other tony liberal resort for vacation every now and then, he'll always be surrounded by people who will only tell him how great he was).
