CBS screwed Rather after he'd done great work for decades. Rather did not fabricate the story; it is true and the papers were supposedly vetted by his producer.

I'm happy to know that Dan now has a show on HDnet doing what he's always done best, traveling the world being investigative journalism. Wish I could see the show.

CBS screwed Rather and now we have the incompetent Ms. Couric. Thanks a hell of a lot, CBS.

Rather's team should hold off to go to trial until after the monkey in the White House is gone back to Crawford.
While he's there, there are too many cronies doing the monkey's bidding, doing all they can to cut up the fight so we won't see Bush for the coward we already all know he is.

So Dan thinks he injustice for his departure and yet his behavor that even Walter Cronkite had call to question and his quick temper for not getting his way led to his own departure and yet people are are hailling his prase because he went after bush and yet no one question the fact that he did such a poor Journalism job trying to go after him.

It just sad that he feel like if he was mistreated, even thought he he been there for more then 14 years and the corporate media could have fired or let him go when Rather was stuck in third place for better half of 90's and 00's but where the injustice in that.

i hope rather wins. good man. great reporter. it's a shame CBS is weak and Faux News are a bunch of blowhard Neo-Nazi lovers like 'Hal Turner' Hannity and 'At least I'm better than Goebbels' O'Reilly

What's the frequency now, Dan?

Maybe he can get someone to produce a fake court decision for him to read on HDNET.

Good news that FINALLY somebody will be looking into the factual bases of the lawsuit, including, presumably which Rovian goon--exactly--planted the fake papers. Remember when the Lieberman campaign complained that the Lamont campaign had sabotaged their website? Turns out that both the FBI AND the Republican governor of CT (the one who took the place of the conviced previous governor John Rowland) knew before the election that the site was brought down by Lieberman's own people and didn't say anything.....just waited for the election to go to the disgusting Lieberman. Very similar to the way Rove bugged his own client's office, then blamed the opponent and the opponent lost the election.

CBS treated Dan terribly and caved in to the Republican war-mongering propaganda machine.

I hope they have to pay him $100 million for their short-sighted stupidity.

I hope Dan Rather prevails against the network that treated him so shabbily.

Go get 'um Dan.

I will do a little dance when you win this, as I am sure you will.

CBS news has no credability. Like Katie Couric is a journalist.

Good for you Dan Rather. Maybe the Bush/Cheney team will cough up the money, since they created the problem.

Randi Rhodes fired, Kutie Katie asked to pack her personal items, no cash for "Fake but Accurate" Dan...

bad day for Libs.
