They certainly will try to pay Rather off rather than have investigations and scrutiny focused on their business and political practices and scruples.
I'd love to see this go to court, but I don't think Rather is that stupid. He'd be playing in the major dirty league, and he's not even close to being able to play in the league these three silk-suited thugs' control.

I have trouble envisioning Redstone paying off Rather and getting the repeat claims by every entertainer and propagandist in his vast network brought about by the view that he will cough-up when sued.
