Rather at University of California, Berkeley on April 25, 2006. Former CBS Evening News anchor Dan Rather has filed a US 70 million lawsuit against CBS, three former co-workers and the "corporate parent" of CBS. Rather resigned after a scandal in 2004 involving faked government documents about United States President George W. Bush's service to the U.S. National Guard . CEO of CBS Leslie Moonves and Viacom are also listed as defendants in the lawsuit. According to reports, Rather is suing CBS because after they made him resign his position, they did not grant him sufficient time on-air while he hosted 60 Minutes. In regards to the fake document scandal, Rather also claims that CBS "committed fraud [and tried to] pacify the White House " when they "commissioned a biased and incomplete investigation" which "seriously damaged" his reputation as a journalist.
