The Appellate Division of the New York State Supreme Court dismissed Dan Rather’s $70 million breach of contract suit against the CBS television network Tuesday, the Associated Press reports.
Rather, citing documents the network had obtained, narrated a report in 2004 on “60 Minutes II” that was critical of George W. Bush’s service in the Texas Air National Guard. The documents later came under question and Rather filed suit after being removed from his “CBS Evening News” anchor slot.
The court ruled that no breach of contract took place because Rather’s annual salary was still paid to him after his dismissal.
Rather’s lawyer plans to appeal.
