NEW YORK (AP) - Dan Rather has filed an amended lawsuit against
CBS.
It says other TV networks refused to hire Rather because of the
damage executives at his former company did to his reputation after
a disputed 2004 report on President Bush.
Rather says he met with CNN, ABC, and NBC in 2006 to talk about
employment after his departure from CBS. But according to Rather,
they refused to hire him because they said he brought "too much
baggage."
Rather's papers say he could have defended the Bush story, but
relied on the network's promises to defend him and extend his
contract.
CBS says it will file an appropriate motion to dismiss.
