Rather Confirms He Will Leave CBS Soon

“Finishing details are being worked out for me to leave CBS News after 44 years,” Mr. Rather said in a Thursday interview with TelevisionWeek. The situation will be resolved sooner rather than later, he said.

As Dan Rather himself might say, “It’s a barnstormer in Buckstown, and the sheep want the bull out of the hay … after 44 years at CBS News.”
