Guard circles for several years for trying to
discredit Bush’s military record.
Burkett, in an interview with Rather aired
on the “CBS Evening News,” said he was
pressured by CBS to reveal his source for the
documents, and “I simply threw out a name
that was basically, I guess, to get a little pres
sure off for the moment.”
He said he didn’t fake or forge any
documents.
“I didn’t totally mislead you,” he said. “I
did mislead you about one individual.”
Burkett said he also insisted that CBS
authenticate the documents on its own.
Two document experts consulted by CBS
later said they raised red Hags that net
work officials apparently disregarded.
Rather acknowledged CBS failed to prop
erly determine whether the documents
were genuine.
The Associated Press could not immedi
ately reach Burkett for comment.
Heyward told The Associated Press it was
not clear what, if any, disciplinary action
would be taken against CBS News employ
ees. Besides tainting the network’s flagship
broadcast, “60 Minutes,” the reporu
damaging blow to Rather, 72. SomeL
suggested the scandal, along with the
ratings of the “CBS Evening News/'cft
hasten Rather’s retirement.
“Please know that nothing is more
portant to us than people’s trust mourabi
ity and our commitment to report ar
truthfully,” Rather said.
Alex Jones, director of Harvard Univer!
ty’s Shorenstein Center on the Press,
and Public Policy, said it appeared to be
honest mistake by CBS, not a willful alter,
to deceive. But he said the network was
slow to respond.
