Rathergate

Developments in Rathergate:

There have been a couple of minor developments in the RatherGate investigation.

I recently spoke to a figure who had been interviewed by Dick Thornburgh's Washington law firm, Kirkpatrick & Lockhart LLP, which is doing some of the legwork for the CBS internal investigation. This figure didn’t want to comment on the record until the CBS report came out, but he sensed from the interview that there was still much work to be done - and that the lawyers looking into the matter were not as well informed on the details of the whole mess as your typical blogger.

Heard from another media source recently that “The CBS news employees I know are freaked....but sort of resigned to their fate.”

Yesterday I heard from a conservative following the RatherGate story closely that the report could be coming out today or Friday.

But RatherBiased.Com reports:

It's becoming increasingly unlikely that the final commission report will be released this Friday, sources tell RatherBiased.com, owing in part to Mapes's renewed defense and the fact that Friday is also the date of the CBS News Christmas party.

So who knows?
