I expect to see Dan Rather moving on to retirement in the next 12 months... perhaps to an Andy Rooney type role, commentary and occassionally something else.
He has lost the battle of the network anchors. CBS news lags badly behind the other networks for the evening news slot, and things like this make people trust them less.
Look for John (JD) Roberts (who is an ex Much Music VJ in Canada, which always makes me take him less seriously) to take over the evening news. I have tried to find a picture of him from that time frame, can't find it. He was a long haired metal man, hosting the heavy shows. Now he is the "news guy".
Dan Rather blew it... his career will end on these many sour notes.

Yep!
Network news is falling off fast - Cable is destroying them.
