#1 Maybe See BS can turn the investigation of Rathergate over to the guys who did this one. Might move it along faster.

#2 This producer was just overzealous. Rather committed fraud.

#3  CBS is insane, they fire a producer over that? But Dan stays? I need a beer.

#4 10,000 bloggers who want Dan Rather's head is not as serous an issue to CBS as 10 million CSI fans who want to see the conclusion of their show after sitting through 90% of it.

#8 Bloggers need to create a newscast that will rival 60 Minutes. Hit 'em where it hurts: in the ratings.

#9 So, if you work for CBS and interrupt a show with an unsurprising yet bona fide news item, you get fired.

Arafart's death was only newsworthy for those who wanted to celebrate. :)
