Dan Rather Files $70 Million Lawsuit Against CBS
Holy crap. The New York Times‘ Jacques Steinberg reports that Dan Rather has filed a massive lawsuit against CBS, Viacom, Les Moonves, Sumner Redstone and Andrew Heyward:
Mr. Rather, 75, asserts that the network violated his contract by giving him insufficient airtime on “60 Minutes” after forcing him to step down as anchor of the “CBS Evening News” in March 2005. He also contends that the network committed fraud by commissioning a “biased” and incomplete investigation of the flawed Guard broadcast and, in the process, “seriously damaged his reputation.”
