Finally, some heads rolled at CBS

News reports are now coming out about the resignations and firing of CBS employees over Rathergate. Well, its about time. The public pronouncements about the whys and wherefores of the whole thing focus more on the rush to break a story rather than any politically motivated agenda of "getting" Bush. Well, if Mary Mapes was working on this story for five years, the timing of 'breaking' this story doesn't square with CBS's official position on why it happened. There's too much coincidence between the story, the presidential campaign, and the way the Kerry campaign was able to jump in the middle of it before the ink was dry on Dan Rather's notes. I understand that to admit to the political agenda that was part of Rathergate would probably eliminate any shred of credibility CBS is holding on to. So be it.
