The 92-year-old Rather will appear this weekend in a profile on CBS Sunday Morning. “Lee Cowan talks with former CBS News anchor Dan Rather about his work at CBS and his life in news," says a CBS News press release. The interview will mark Rather's first appearance on CBS News since he was forced off the network in June 2006 (https://www.cbsnews.com/news/rather-leaves-cbs-news/) after 44 years over his role in an unsubstantiated 60 Minutes II report questioning President Bush’s Vietnam-era National Guard service. His exit came after he came a year after he was forced to step down from CBS Evening News in March 2005 after a 24-year tenure as its anchor. Rather, who said he was the scapegoat in the scandal, sued CBS over his ouster (https://www.nytimes.com/2007/09/20/business/media/20cbs.html). Rather's scandal was turned into the 2015 film Truth, starring Robert Redford as Rather. In recent years, Rather has been known for his presence on Twitter/X (https://www.thedailybeast.com/dan-rather-on-trolling-ted-cruz-tucker-carlson-and-the-state-of-the-news-media), where he has trolled conservatives.
