The judge in Dan Rather's lawsuit against CBS has ordered CBS News President Andrew Heyward and CBS CEO Les Moonves to appear at depositions to be taken by lawyers for the former CBS anchor. The TVNewser website quotes Rather's lawyer as saying that he may depose Viacom Chairman Sumner Redstone, as well. CBS Chief Counsel Jim Quinn said that the executives "will support our case that CBS did nothing wrong by Dan Rather. In fact, the opposite is true. They did everything right by him."
