THE NEW YORK OBSERVER will report tomorrow: 'Former 60 Minutes Wednesday executive editor Josh Howard has told colleagues that before he resigns, the 23-year CBS News veteran will demand that the network retract remarks by CBS president Leslie Moonves, correct its official story line and ultimately clear his name'...
In the event of a lawsuit, Mr. Howard has told associates that he would like to see Moonves put under oath to talk about his own roles in the network's stubborn, hapless defense of the flawed segment on President Bush's National Guard service.
Howard has also indicated to colleagues that he would subpoena specific CBS documents, including the e-mails of top executives.

Former White House senior staff member
George Stephanopoulos in his book, All Too Human, writes about Clinton's mishandling of the Somalia crisis and shows the depth of the President's violent emotions:
"'We're not inflicting pain on these f##kers,' Clinton said, softly at first. 'When people kill us, they should be killed in greater numbers.' Then, with his face reddening, his voice rising, and his fist pounding his thigh, he leaned into Tony [Lake], as if it was his fault. 'I believe in killing people who try to hurt you. And I can't believe we're being pushed around by these two-bit pricks.'"

Rather said: When the charge has something to do with somebody's private sex life, I would prefer not to run any of it.
And look how they went after Newt and that GOP guy, I forget his name, the one who replaced Newt for a few days before the media revealed a 20 year old affair. Then their was the totally fabricated affair of GHWB. The list goes on.

The New York Observer ^ | 16 February 2005 | Joe Hagan The CBS Three Wont Slink Off; Hiring Lawyersby Joe Hagan On Jan. 10, when the 224-page report on the investigation into CBS News 60 Minutes Wednesday memo scandal arrived, CBS president Leslie Moonves issued a statement dwelling on the failures of the employees involved in producing the disputed segment.Prominent among the targets was executive producer Josh Howard. Mr. Howard, Mr. Moonves said, "did little to assert his role as the producer ultimately responsible for the broadcast and everything in it. This mistake dealt a tremendous blow to the credibility of 60 Minutes Wednesday and to CBS News in general."The producer,... |

I believe the media and the Democrat Party will turn on her. She has choreographed every single interview she has ever granted to the Press. If and when, she announces her candidacy for the office of the POTUS, I believe the whole world will see the evil that resides in her vacant soul once she is forced to answer the tough questions.
I also believe 70 million people will go to the Polls to vote against her

"I believe the media and the Democrat Party will turn on her."I believe you're probably right. I sincerely hope so. However, she wouldn't mind taking over the Swimmer's position as not-so-behind-the-scenes-kingmaker is it came down to that.

What I don't understand is why CBS, if it really wanted to get rid of these 3, didn't:
1) Make no defamatory statements,
2) Fire them,
3) Buy out their contracts. They few million CBS would have to lay out is small price compared to the further public battering of their brand for months and months.

Complacence, top executives' faith in the mass media's immunity from the law combined with typical leftist narrowmindedness and complete inability to deal with changes in the world.
Overconfidence'll getcha every time.

Carville always struck me as a lunatic Smashing an egg on your face on a live TV news show strikes me as bona fide nuts.
The Leftist Hollywood producers helped Clinton greatly, and they will be force to contend with in the future
Oh yes. Watch the full court media press when Hillary runs..

Hillary will not overcome her criminal past. The mainstream media is not capable of silencing the "new Media" and Hillary will be forced to answer the questions she has been able to avoid since 1993
