The decision to paint Rather as out of the loop on the disastrous National Guard report also irked staffers who knew that "he’d read multiple drafts of the script for the story [written by producer Mapes], done most of the interviews, and had a thorough knowledge of the story’s content and point of view," according to New York Magazine.

What a CBS coverup, the ghosts of Watergate must be laughing....

The report painted Rather as an innocent overworked doofus just reading what Mary Mapes & crew had handed him right before air time. But it's coming out very differently now, and it's the CBS people turning on their own.

That "investigation" by those two lackeys, Thornburgh and the other clown, really helped CBS diffuse the situation didn't it? LOL, it was like throwing kerosene on the fire because it was such an obvious whitewash job. "Can't say for sure that the documents were fake and there's no evidence of partisanship." Unreal.

Good riddance to CBS. I think the place is on its death bed.
