Dan Rather's Suit Against CBS Tossed Out

Dan Rather’s Suit Against CBS Tossed Out

US NewsSeptember 2009 • Views: 5,791

Dan “Fake Documents” Rather is not having a good day: Appeals court tosses Dan Rather’s $70M suit against CBS.

Bad news for Dan Rather: His $70 million lawsuit against CBS is no more.

In a 19-page decision made public Tuesday, a state appeals court dismissed the legendary newsman’s suit against CBS. Rather, 77, sued the Tiffany network in 2007 after his career at CBS collapsed in the wake of a “60 Minutes II” report about former President George W.Bush’s Vietnam-era military service. …

As recently as Sept. 21, lawyers for Rather said he would be vindicated and that Bush’s military service would be proven to be a sham.

A lawyer for Rather and a CBS spokeswoman could not immediately be reached for comment.

Powerful quake generates tsunami in Pacific off American Samoa

A powerful 7.9 magnitude earthquake in the Pacific off American Samoa generated a tsunami, U.S. government agencies said on Tuesday.

Sea level readings indicated a tsunami was generated in the Pacific, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center, a branch of the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, said.

He's not going to go away quietly, and his final act is a death spiral due to his own prejudices and attempts to alter the outcome of a presidential election with a fraudulent and bogus story.

centaur Tue, Sep 29, 2009 12:48:26pm

To all the newbies: think about this. We had a major media figure trying (unconsciously, I think, by not questioning his own convictions) to influence a US presidential election by running a bogus story. LGF sniffed it out. Charles (and a few others) showed us proof that is was BS. If it happened, five, ten years prior, well, we would not be discussing this right now, would we? We may well have had a President Kerry. Maybe you've been here five months and left 9,000 comments, but you've missed some really, really good stuff.

Charles Johnson's Continuing Major Malfunction

I see Little Green Football's has Michelle Malkin as his "Outrage of the Day!" and he has taken up the practice of using an unflattering screen grab from the Left to picture her. He also manages to work up a post attacking me on down.

I'm only pointing it out as he has so few readers anymore it's all too easy to miss. At least he'll get an extra year or two from that masturbatory fantasy of a webserver I picture him sleeping with these days.

Come forth and multiply my little lizards, we must have new hatchlings, oh yes, oh wow!

Seriously, from an adult, even in CA? I guess in hindsight, he always was a bit of a kook. Maybe Daddy took the toy soldiers away too early when Charlie was a little boy.

Al Qaeda Bombers Learn from Drug Smugglers

Inside a Saudi palace, the scene was the bloody aftermath of an al Qaeda attack in August aimed at killing Prince Mohammed Bin Nayef, head of Saudi Arabia's counter terrorism operations.

To get his bomb into this room, Abdullah Asieri, one of Saudi Arabia's most wanted men, avoided detection by two sets of airport security including metal detectors and palace security. He spent 30 hours in the close company of the prince's own secret service agents - all without anyone suspecting a thing.

How did he do it?

Taking a trick from the narcotics trade - which has long smuggled drugs in body cavities - Asieri had a pound of high explosives, plus a detonator inserted in his rectum.

This was a meticulously planned operation with al Qaeda once again producing something new: this time, the Trojan bomber.

The blast left the prince lightly wounded - a failure as an assassination, but as an exercise in defeating security, it was perfect.

Can anyone figure out what Dan Riehl is trying to say in his latest post?

Charles Johnson's Continuing Major Malfunction

I see Little Green Football's has Michelle Malkin as his "Outrage of the Day!" and he has taken up the practice of using an unflattering screen grab from the Left to picture her. He also manages to work up a post attacking me on down.

I'm only pointing it out as he has so few readers anymore it's all too easy to miss. At least he'll get an extra year or two from that masturbatory fantasy of a webserver I picture him sleeping with these days.

Come forth and multiply my little lizards, we must have new hatchlings, oh yes, oh wow!

Seriously, from an adult, even in CA? I guess in hindsight, he always was a bit of a kook. Maybe Daddy took the toy soldiers away too early when Charlie was a little boy.

Watching someone's machine break can be a terrible thing, if it doesn't put you to sleep.

Maybe he was drunk?

I see a lot of stalker blog talking points in his words. They're usually the twits claiming that LGF's traffic has taken a nosedive (which it hasn't).

I think he's pissed off that you exposed his lies about the murder of the census worker. Given the stalker blog talking points, I'd suspect that Riehl may post under a nickname over there.

Anyone know if there is a map of the tsunami watch area in the Pacific?

I am not too worried about the kid in the Philippines (he was far south of the flooding, we got worse than him in Georgia) but I would feel better knowing he's not in a watch area since his is in a coastal village.

The tsunami hit American Samoa, which is NE of Australia, far away from the Philippines.

A tsunami warning was in effect for American Samoa, Samoa, Cook Islands, Tonga and Fiji, among others in the South Pacific archipelago, according to a bulletin from the center.

A tsunami watch was issued for islands farther from the epicenter, including Hawaii and Papua New Guinea.

And howdy neighbor! The Georgia flooding wrecked my commute, though I didn't suffer any damage myself.

All variations on the theme of fiddling with someone's given name, as if that were devastating to the integrity and reputation of the intended target. "I just called you Chuckles. Touché!" More people misspell my name, first and last, than consciously tamper with it, but it doesn't hurt me either way. The trick is so juvenile it makes me laugh.

I love the comment from his lawyer about taking this nonsense to the Court of Appeals. For those of you outside New York, that would be the equivalent of your highest state court, usually referred to as the "Supreme" court. As you can imagine, not a lot of cases get accepted by our Court of Appeals each year, but hey- Dan, I love the whole LGF morphing memo thing, so I think you should go for it. Good luck with the motion for leave to appeal. Make sure you get your papers in on time- you have to file with the lower court, and remember, you're using the same index number. And Dan? I know this has got to be costing you a fortune, so remember, you've got people out there rooting for you. Keep it going. In fact, get your own web page and set up a tip jar. I'm in for a sawbuck. The entertainment value of this is endless. Honest to God. Really.

Took the words right out of my mouth. (I presume there's no way a lawyer would take this case on a contingency basis.)

Note to Rather's lawyer: Since you're going to a higher court, that should mean a higher billing rate, no? Double sounds about right. And don't forget the need to hire the very best available specialists as consultants. And don't forget the federal courts. And the ICC! Remember, price is no object.

I honestly don't understand how someone can lie about another person with sole intent to damage the other's reputation, know they're lying the whole time, and then be the one alleging they were wronged. It really feels like the consequences were too light for Rather and company, far too light.

I don't like the idea of outright, vigorous criminalization of slander and libel, but at the same time, it's very hard to say that self-governance doesn't suffer when people are allowed to attack each other any way they like.
