] JON STEWART: Well Stephen, what do you think is going to
] happen now at CBS News?
]
] STEPHEN COLBERT, Daily Show Senior Media Correspondent:
] Jon, there's got to be some accountability. Dan Rather is
] the head, the commander in chief if you will of his
] organization. He's someone in the ultimate position of
] power who made a harmful decision based upon questionable
] evidence. Then, to make things worse, he stubbornly
] refused to admit his mistake, choosing instead to stay
] the course and essentially occupy this story for too
] long. This man has got to go!
]
] STEWART: Uh ... we're talking about Dan Rather...?
]
] COLBERT: Yes Jon, Dan Rather. CBS is in chaos, it's
] unsafe, riven by internal rivalries. If you ask me,
] respected, reputable outsiders need to be brought in to
] help the rebuilding effort.
]
] STEWART: ... at CBS News?
]
] COLBERT: Yeah, at CBS news! What possible other unrelated
] situation could my words be equally applicable to?! Now
] people need to be held accountable. The commander in
] chief, the vice president, the secretary of defense, the
] national security adviser -- everyone at CBS News needs
] to go! Jon, I can tell you, Walter Cronkite is rolling
] over in his grave.
]
] STEWART: Walter Cronkite is still alive.
]
] COLBERT: Not according to my sources ... at CBS News.
