CBS News chairman Jeff Fager has stood firmly by and defended Logan, saying he should have caught the mistake. Well, maybe he should fire himself in that case. That of course would require some accountability from CBS, a condition in short supply.

Maybe CBS had a desperate need for another reporter on its staff, since the one who did this week's extragavanza on the NSA, is leaving:



The piece was fronted by reporter John Miller, who had to tell viewers this at the top of the segment: "Full disclosure: I once worked in the office of the director of National Intelligence, where I saw firsthand how secretly the NSA operates." Miller is also likely set to leave CBS soon to work for the NYPD.

That's some career trajectory.

In other news, Dan Rather is still a discredited journalist. It just goes to show you, it's not what you do, but who you do it to (or about).
