Listen carefully, I don't want to have to say this again. CBS owns TV stations which are regulated by the government. They can't afford to gamble with those licenses. They CANNOT knowlingly (unlike cable networks) take this kind of chance with the truth.
There is no way that the corporate managers and owners would allow the News Division to carry on some kind of vendetta. There are billions of dollars on the line with these stations. The owned stations make much more money than the network news or entertainment divisions do. And the networks are run by businessmen -- not journalists.
If they reported it, they believe it to be true. If it turns out it isn't, they will have to retract and have a lot of egg on their face.
That may happen or it may not, but to make the kind of charges you do shows more of a bias (or misunderstanding of the network reality) on your part than on CBS's.

Ok..so don't u think Rather (or other reporters) would have checked every possible source and checked it thrice before airing such garbage? Knox says their probably not authentic..isn't this the lady that typed the Lt's memos? THe family said they aren't authentic..namely because THEY have all of their fathers files... they didn't bother to show the other side of the story...which would have given the story some objectivity...but they still stand by their sources?
The only sources they stand by are the ones that agree with their viewpoints.
