Dan Rather files $70M lawsuit against CBS
Cory Bergman September 19th, 2007
Rather says the network violated his contract by not giving him enough face-time on 60 Minutes after forcing him to step down from the Evening News anchor desk. In the 32-page filing, he also says CBS “seriously damanged his reputation” and made him “a scapegoat” in an attempt “to pacify the White House.”

Go, Dan, go! Since he’s been gone, I’ve really not had any place other than Jim Lehrer to turn to to for hard news and though ABC has become the best of the commercial networks, I really miss having Dapper Dan handy for the big events.

I think they have a better case suing him for damaging their reputation.
