I absolutely love this and go get them Josh!

| Quote: | THE NEW YORK OBSERVER will report tomorrow: 'Former 60 Minutes Wednesday executive editor Josh Howard has told colleagues that before he resigns, the 23-year CBS News veteran will demand that the network retract remarks by CBS president Leslie Moonves, correct its official story line and ultimately clear his name'...
In the event of a lawsuit, Mr. Howard has told associates that he would like to see Moonves put under oath to talk about his own roles in the network's stubborn, hapless defense of the flawed segment on President Bush's National Guard service.
Howard has also indicated to colleagues that he would subpoena specific CBS documents, including the e-mails of top executives. |
Yes, I am exhibiting shadenfraude, but damn I cannot help but relish in this.

The article was just posted and it is quite damning.

I love watching radical leftists circling the wagons against radical leftists. This is just too good. 
Prediction: CBS news will be off the air if this ever goes to court. They will cease to have a news division. They might have the worst ratings now, but wait and watch the ratings plummet to McEnroe levels once the public learns what the CBS execs think of them. hehe

Considering the ongoing efforts to get the Clinton White House Emails into the archives..... which some how misstakingly dissapeared...
http://www.judicialwatch.org/1244.shtml
| Quote: | | This scandal, uncovered by Judicial Watch, exposed how Northrop Grumman White House contractors were threatened by Clinton-Gore officials to keep incriminatinge-mail concerning virtually all the Clinton scandals away from investigators. |
Josh Howard has his work cut out for him
| Quote: | | including the e-mails of top executives. |
I do wish him luck though..... maybe he could get Sandy Berger and some of his pals from PRC to help him out. |

With this rather benign offering, it looks like the NY Times is attempting to get on record as following the CBS story. However, after checking the print edition (at least mine), it appears that this is in the online edition only. The Times, according to their story, attempted to interview story principles as late as yesterday. However, it appears that today's focus in the NY Observer has prompted (shamed?) them into publishing what they deemed un-newsworthy as today's edition went to the presses last night.
Nor does it shed much light on the scandal, other than the fact that few involved are talking even to the Times.
Perhaps a modification of their banner? "All the news that we can't bury, we'll print."?
| Quote: | Asked to Resign, 3 at CBS Hire Lawyers Instead
By JACQUES STEINBERG
NY Times
Published: February 16, 2005
More than a month after Leslie Moonves, the chairman of CBS, requested the resignations of three top journalists at the network who helped oversee a flawed report on the National Guard service of President Bush, they have yet to step down, two CBS officials said yesterday.
The journalists - Betsy West, a senior vice president for CBS News; Josh Howard, executive producer of the Wednesday edition of "60 Minutes"; and Mary Murphy, Mr. Howard's deputy - were asked by Mr. Moonves to resign on Jan. 10, the day he released the findings of an independent panel engaged by CBS to investigate the flawed report. The panel found that CBS News had rushed the report on to the air on Sept. 8 in a frantic bid to beat its competitors and had not worked aggressively enough to verify the documents on which the report was based.
Although the three journalists were relieved of their duties on the day the panel reported its findings, none had agreed to Mr. Moonves's request as of yesterday, according to two network officials who have been informally briefed on the situation.
A spokesman for Mr. Moonves, Gil Schwartz, declined to comment yesterday, as did John Siffert, a lawyer for Ms. West. Ms. Murphy did not return a message left at her home. Mr. Howard did not respond to an e-mail message. Asked in recent weeks about the status of the three journalists, representatives for Mr. Moonves have consistently refused to comment. Only recently, as the matter has grown more protracted, have others at CBS been willing to discuss what they have been told, and only then without being identified.
