| Asked to Resign, 3 at CBS Hire Lawyers Instead |
| 2005-02-16 |
| Hat Tip : Mr. Drudge More than a month after Leslie Moonves, the chairman of CBS, requested the resignations of three top journalists at the network who helped oversee a flawed report on the National Guard service of President Bush, they have yet to step down, two CBS officials said yesterday. The journalists - Betsy West, a senior vice president for CBS News; Josh Howard, executive producer of the Wednesday edition of "60 Minutes"; and Mary Murphy, Mr. Howard's deputy - were asked by Mr. Moonves to resign on Jan. 10, the day he released the findings of an independent panel engaged by CBS to investigate the flawed report. The panel found that CBS News had rushed the report on to the air on Sept. 8 in a frantic bid to beat its competitors and had not worked aggressively enough to verify the documents on which the report was based. {SNIP} When all else fails, SUE THE BASTARDS! |

| #2 Cyber Sarge, I think that such files are kept on the mainframe, with tapes backed up at least once a day ... or whatever the modern equivalent is. At any rate, there would have to be a serious effort to erase all trace of every email, and then Management better hope that nobody copied anyone outside the building. |

| #1 I wonder if they deleted all the email files that were talked about in the story? I have a prediction that the MSM is about to get another big black eye (pun intended). I am pretty sure the only people watching CBS news are pundits looking for ammo against them. |
