RATHER REPORT COMING OUT FRIDAY?

My little bird that is familiar with discussions within CBS News tells me that the long, long, long-awaited report on the infamous CBS memo by former U.S. Attorney General Richard Thornburgh and retired A.P. president Louis Boccardi may be coming out Friday.

Hmmm... would this be a Friday at 5 pm release?

Also, you'll recall this little birdie told me that CBS was considering naming Rather's replacement the same day they release the report.

UPDATE: Scylla & Charybdis adds speculation that also points to Friday:

The MSM has geared up to run Abu Ghraib-type headlines over the Alberto R. Gonzales nomination hearings. See, e.g., today's LA Times and NY Times. The hearings begin Thursday.

Not a stretch to smell this coming: CBS will "release" the Thornburgh report this Friday, right into the cacophony of MSM "news" about the nefarious Alberto Gonzales. The MSM "Gonzales story" will detract attention on Friday, from the paucity of details in the release of the Thornburgh Report.

Note: As previously explained at this blog, the "release" will be not much more than a press release stating that CBS management has taken "internal measures deemed appropriate to ensure.... blah blah blah," with perhaps one example being made public.

We're a cynical bunch, aren't we?
