We'll Come Together Fine...All We Need is Just a Little Patience
According to Dealbook* the talks "represent an enormous breakthrough following weeks of behind-the-scenes discussions without any progress," even though "they could still be postponed or collapse entirely." Stay tuned. *UPDATE We initially attributed this to Dealbreaker, hat tip to "reader00" for pointing out this was actually a Dealbook story. Our mistake. Thursday May 01, 2008
You Never Call When You're Supposed To!
It's one of the mysteries of the blogosphere, why more people don't simply pick up the phone once in a while. It seems Goldberg is upset that Matt Haber over at the Observer wrote a piece about Goldberg's new blog without calling for comment (maybe he was operating on the three day rule?). According to Goldberg, Haber "repeated a discredited accusation made by an ethically-challenged journalist about my reporting without having sought my comment." [UPDATED: Ken Silverstein's response here] The accusation in question that "according to Harper's Ken Silverstein [Goldberg relied] "heavily on administration sources and war hawks (and in at least one crucial case, a fabricator)"" also happened to be the lede into a fairly tame and friendly piece announcing Goldberg's arrival to the Atlantic's online scene.

Judge Dismisses Most of Dan Rather Lawsuit Against CBSA tipster reports, and CBS confirms, that the judge in the Dan Rather lawsuit against CBS has issued a motion to dismiss. TVNewser will have more throughout the day. UPDATE: Justice Gammerman issued a decision today which leaves in place the entire essence of Mr. Rather's lawsuit against CBS and Viacom, including both contract and tort claims. Although not every legal theory of the case survives, as a result of the decision, the Court has permitted discovery and a trial of all of the factual issues that form the basis of Mr. Rather's lawsuit, including his $70 million claim for compensatory and punitive damages. The defendants' statement that all that is left is a "garden variety contract dispute" is simply inaccurate. Wednesday Apr 09, 2008
