Which network fired Dan Rather in 2006?

  • CNN

  • CBS

  • ABC

Answer

CBS fired Dan Rather in 2006 due to a controversial report on President George W. Bush's military service. The report, which aired on "60 Minutes II," alleged that Bush had received preferential treatment during his time in the Texas Air National Guard. The report was later discredited, and Rather and his producer were forced to resign. The incident damaged CBS's reputation and led to a decline in viewership.
