Dan Rather sues CBS for $70 million

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Former CBS news anchor Dan Rather sued the network on Wednesday for $70 million, saying CBS violated his contract by depriving him of air time and made him a scapegoat to "pacify the White House."

Rather’s Lawsuit Shows Role of G.O.P. in Inquiry

Seems as if this lawsuit not only still has some life to it, but some perhaps rather interesting twists as well:
"Rather’s Lawsuit Shows Role of G.O.P. in Inquiry
When Dan Rather filed suit against CBS 14 months ago — claiming, among other things, that his former employer had commissioned a politically biased investigation into his work on a “60 Minutes” segment about President Bush’s National Guard service — the network predicted the quick and favorable dismissal of the case, which it derided as “old news.”
So far, Mr. Rather has spent more than $2 million of his own money on the suit. And according to documents filed recently in court, he may be getting something for his money."
