#1 Maybe CBS should just worry about telling the public the truth. Oh wait -- what am I saying?

#2 Given felonies are involved, shouldn't it be the FBI investigating this, not the media?

#4 ban them from press conferences if they don't clean up their act on their own - think "Helen Thomas"

#5 CBS (and the other MSM) will have to do a damn good housecleaning to get back in my good graces (and I think the graces of a lot of people). From the CEO and the entire executive staff on down. They are in dire need of some blood younger then 80 anyway.

And Maples and Rather should be fired - not allowed to 'retire' or 'resign' but outright fired. As in 'Follow these armed guards and meet your shit at the back door' fired.

#9 The assumption is that the network cares. If they have taken a strategic view that treats open broadcast television like radio with programs directed at specific audiences rather than general ones, then CBS/Viacom may just toss the 53% of America off their corporate radar. Whether that sells in the short term with the stockholders is up in the air, but given the steady erosion of viewship anyway over the past decade, it may be the game plan. Otherwise, why haven't they tossed Dan long ago for not getting rating points up from the basement.

#10 Frank G: "Helen Thomas"

If only Thomas Jefferson had banned her right at the outset...
