"Court Dismisses Rather Suit Against CBS"

A lawsuit against CBS by Dan Rather was brought against the network in 2007 for damages of $70 million dollars. Rather had claimed that

"his contract had been breached by CBS management and his reputation had been
unfairly tarnished by the network's handling of an investigation into his report
on President George W. Bush's National Guard Record."

The appeals court chose to dismiss the suit against CBS saying,

"the motion court erred in denying the defendants' motion to dismiss the
claims for breach of contract and breach of fiduciary duty and therefore we find
the complaint must be dismissed in its entitety."
