Dan Rather Sues CBS Executives
------------------------------



In other media news, former TV news anchor Dan Rather sued CBS chief
executive Leslie Moonves and former CBS News President Andrew Heyward on
Monday in a bid to have them reinstated as defendants in his $70 million
lawsuit against the network. Rather accused the two men of fraud
relating to his claim that CBS made him a scapegoat in a scandal over a
2004 report about President George W. Bush’s service in the Texas Air
National Guard.
