Crushing of Dissent at CBS

For those of you who have not followed the forgery scandal at CBS concerning President Bush's National Guard service, here is a good overview. And here is a detailed timeline. It seems that the first round of firings over the matter is already underway, according to an Associated Press article in The Lexington Herald:

A radio talk-show host said Saturday he has been fired for criticizing CBS newsman Dan Rather's handling of challenges to the authenticity of memos about President Bush's National Guard service. "On the talk show that I host, or hosted, I said I felt Rather should either retire or be forced out over this," said Brian Maloney, whose weekly "The Brian Maloney Show" aired for three years on KIRO-AM Radio, a CBS affiliate here. Maloney says he made that statement on his Sept. 12 program. He was fired Friday, he said.
