CBS would very much like to keep its dealings with Dan Rather a secret, thank you. Yesterday, the network asked the court overseeing Rather's $70 million suit against it (for allegedly violating his contract in firing him) to keep documents related to the Memogate scandal under wraps, even though CBS originally said it would make them public. Naturally, the move caused Rather, currently appearing on HDNet and wire copy, to go off the deep end, accusing his former employer of working under the table with the government: "It is a fact that corporate overlords working in secret collusion with the powers in Washington are intruding far too often in far too many newsrooms." Also, black helicopters will be landing here soon to "take you to lunch."
