Lawsuit Against CBS is Over

By Brianna Carlson

Dan Rather, a previous employee of CBS, filed a $70 million lawsuit against CBS in 2007. Just recently, the case was rejected by the appellate division of the New York State Supreme Court.

Rather was seeking damages in a claim that his contract was broken, and he also said his reputation was ruined after his report on 60 Minutes II.

Rather stepped down from his anchor position before the report was even released. He later said his contract was violated which persued him to bring a lawsuit against the network.

The CBS lawyer estimated that Rather spent $5 million on the case. The case is now over, and the money was waisted.
