| Redstone Vows 'Appropriate' Consequences For CBS News Stewart Pinkerton, 09.23.04, 2:45 AM ET Here's one breaking story that Dan Rather will be watching closely. Reacting to the document scandal at CBS News, Sumner M. Redstone, chairman and chief executive of Viacom, CBS' parent, vowed that the results of a recently announced probe would be "appropriate--and the consequences will be appropriate." But, of course none of Saddahm's plastic shredders are available, so we can just fire their fat asses... Speaking before the Forbes Global CEO Conference here, Redstone told delegates he has been "very concerned" about a Sept. 8, 2004, 60 Minutes story reported by Rather that suggested lapses in President George W. Bush's military record. CBS has since conceded that the documents on which the story was based could not be authenticated. Rather has apologized, and CBS News has said the story was a mistake. Stock prices have been dropping... ...Commenting on the upcoming U.S. presidential election, Redstone said that while Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) was a "nice guy," the re-election of President Bush would be best for Viacom's interests, since the Administration backed deregulation and other issues that would help the company. Interesting...Sounds like "please don't procecute us over the actions of a senile old anchorman, and his rabid leftist producer aide" |
