Now Playing: "We're Gonna Groove" by Led Zeppelin
Here's an interesting story at NewsMax.com about what's going on behind the scenes at CBS News. I especially like this bit:
Resentment at CBS was also running high over the conduct of Rather himself. Insiders knew that "he'd read multiple drafts of the script for the story [written by producer Mapes], done most of the interviews, and had a thorough knowledge of the story's content and point of view," notes Blum, contradicting network spin that the notorious anchorman was out of the loop.That's exactly how it's been going down, too: this stupid idea that Dan Rather isn't responsible for that hit piece because he had just been covering a hurricane or a convention or whatever other nonsense they're using to excuse him.
Here's to hoping it gets good and ugly with these terminations. Lots of recriminations and juicy, gossipy goodness for the other networks to spread around.
Hmm. Maybe a network like FOX! You know, they are the focus of evil in the modern world.
