Look at the CBS story below. How could legendary news organization CBS, legendary investigative news program 60 Minutes, and legendary news anchor Dan Rather put such smear on the air 2 months before the 2004 election? These people are professionals, not high school newspaper volunteers. It was done purposefully and intentionally to effect the outcome of the election:

NEW YORK (CNN) -- CBS News has ousted four employees over its "60 Minutes Wednesday" report about President Bush's National Guard service, the network said Monday.

The network fired Mary Mapes, producer of the report. Senior Vice President Betsy West was asked to resign, along with Josh Howard, executive producer of "60 Minutes Wednesday," and his top deputy, Mary Murphy.

In a statement released later in the day, Mapes insisted that the story was neither false nor misleading and accused CBS chief executive Leslie Moonves of "vitriolic scapegoating."

Dan Rather, anchor of the "CBS Evening News," who was the story's correspondent, announced in November he would be stepping down from his anchor position in March. Rather did not mention the controversy when he made his announcement. (Full story)

Rather was absent Monday from "CBS Evening News." The broadcast led with a report on the panel's findings.

According to a CBS statement, an independent panel appointed by the network concluded that CBS News failed to follow basic journalistic principles in putting together the piece, which aired September 8.

The panel's report said a "myopic zeal" led the program to air a story critical of Bush's service record that was based on documents that might have been forged.

The report also faulted CBS staffers involved for a "rigid and blind defense" of the story after it aired, despite growing questions about the documents.
Thanks for putting this up. You are only helping prove my assertions. In September of 2007 Dan Rather filed charges in court against CBS.

In November 2007 CBS tried to dismiss the charges.

On January 8th 2008 the courts decided to allow Dan Rather to go on with his suit. Where is the so called liberal media covering this story???
