Dan Rather Loses Lawsuit

Dan rather won’t be seeing any of the money from his $70 million dollar lawsuit. Yesterday the NY Supreme Court decline to hear the case and said the lower courts ruling (in which his case was dismissed) will stand.

Dan Rather was removed from the CBS anchor chair over the President Bush/National Guard story. It turned out most of the documents sited had been fakes.

“I believed then and I believe now that it’s important the public understand how much influence in collusion big government and big business can have in affecting how the news is handled,” Rather said in an interview Tuesday. “And that should not be.”

“Nobody likes to lose,” he added. “But I thought carefully before I went into this. I decided, win or lose, some things are worth fighting for. And this is worth fighting for. And I have no intention of giving up the fight.”

A CBS spokesman declined to respond, saying simply, “We will let Dan have the last word on his lawsuit.”
