The CBS Report: Initial Reactions

The full report can be accessed here (hat tip to Instapundit for this and other pointers)...

Michelle Malkin says that bias was all over the investigation findings, despite the rather lame contention that the panel found "no persuasive evidence" of such...

Commonwealth Conservative is not convinced by the 'rush to be the first to break the story' excuse...

Confessions of a Political Junkie doesn't think CBS has absorbed the lesson...

CrushKerry is incredulous at the unwillingness of the investigators to acknowledge their own evidence...

Still haven't got your fill? Rathergate has postings galore for you...

I haven't had a chance to read the report yet, but just from what I know of the story, it's apparent the segment was politically motivated. That shouldn't detract from the fact that some serious head-rolling has just taken place. Rather's was not among them because of his high visibility and the unpleasantness of dismissing a long-time anchor. His reputation is permanently tarnished, but I wonder how the four who just got canned are taking his continued employment.
