Breaking: The judge in Dan Rather's lawsuit against CBS has issued a motion to dismiss most of the case. CBS News confirms.
Developing...
> More: TVNewser has learned most of issues of the lawsuit have been dismissed. What remains is the contract dispute: whether Rather was utilized appropriately in the remaining months of his deal as a correspondent on 60 Minutes. Jim Quinn, lead counsel for CBS tells TVNewser, "We're thrilled with the results. The core of the allegations of fraud and fair dealing have been thrown out. What's left is a garden variety contract dispute."
In the meantime, the contract dispute part of the case continues, perhaps for the next several months. "At the end of discovery, we'll move again for a summary judgment" to dismiss, says Quinn.

That’s too bad. I was hoping Rather would find a way to take all of See BS news down with him.....

You see where the perky one is “stepping down” [aka getting fired] from the CBS anchor chair after the election.
2 years before her contract runs out.

From the headline, I assumed this was about a suit AGAINST Dan Blather. My mistake.
