A couple of thoughts. First, since CBS is standing behind the violation of ethics clause, they cannot assert that if it’s not true without risking legal trouble. Secondly Batiste isn’t barking a lot about the firing.

It’s no secret that I’m not a fan of Batiste or of any other retired General with an agenda critiquing the President during a time of war. So good riddance.

Saying that, what present on-air analyst doesn’t have an “agenda”? Yet there seems to be a little bit more to the story than what we know now, but then, the weekend has just begun!
