'What did Dan Rather know, and when did he know it?'

A few are starting to call for Congressional hearings into this fraud perpetrated by CBS in an attempt to influence the election. I doubt it'll ever happen, but if they can hold hearings on Howard Stern and Janet Jackson, they can hold a hearing on this. I listened to an interview of two law professors who teach Constitutional Law (one from the Left and one from the Right) who agreed there is no 1st Amendment prohibition on hearings. The professor from the Left did make a good point - if there is a possibility of legal action, then the hearings could backfire like they did with Ollie North.

Like I said, I doubt it'll happen, but it would be sweet to see the news media being held accountable for once.
