As I recall, the “internal investigation” that CBS ostensibly performed in response to the outing of Rather was very weak and lead to lame if any conclusions of wrong-doing on the part of Rather. Dan Rather was subsequently marginalized to be sure, but CBS had the opportunity to shed a little light on this cockroach in order to fend off this sort of thing and opted not to. In a way, CBS is getting what they deserve.
And I believe they’ll come to a settlement with Danny-boy to avoid a lawsuit in the public limelight.
IOW, CBS will wimp-out again.
“...I believe they’ll come to a settlement with Danny-boy to avoid a lawsuit in the public limelight.”
Dan certainly knows where the bones are buried at CBS, that’s for sure. I hate to think of that hopeless, arrogant fool getting any more money, but I’m afraid you’re right. There is one glimmer, though...I would imagine that CBS had Rather sign a non-litigation clause Release of All Claims in order to get the generous severance package he got out of them.
