NEW YORK — Former CBS news anchor Dan Rather has filed a $70 million lawsuit Wednesday against the CBS network, its parent company Viacom Inc., and three of his former bosses, claiming he was made a "scapegoat" for a discredited story about President Bush's military service.
Rather, 75, accused CBS and its executives of making him a "scapegoat" in an attempt to "pacify the White House," according to CBS Radio.

This is beyond funny, as it shows nothing more than the unhingedness of Dan Rather. He apparently continues to believe in the discredited story about George W. Bush's history in the Texas Air National Guard even after all this time.
Rather made himself a scapegoat with his failure to take proper responsibility for the bad reporting he did on that story--a condition that persists up to the present day.
I can't wait to see the evidence that Rather will present at trial (assuming that the suit isn't summarily dismissed). Documents discovered by Bill Burkett, I suppose, will show the way the White House pressured CBS into firing Rather.
