Any leader of a huge entity who uses faulty information to cause that entity to take a course of action should be held accountable for those decisions.

Both the President and the Vice President need to lose their jobs over this one. They failed to do the necessary investigation of the truth before taking action.. unforgivable.

Who is the President of CBS anyway?

(with a nod to John Stewart)

Obviously they didn't. It's much easier to toss out the usual knee jerk reactions than actually read the post and offer an appropriate response.

Maybe they got it... maybe they didn't.

The double entendre was noted. And IMO, the "Pres of CBS" is responsible for dealing appropriately with his underlings, not taking the fall personally...unless it can be proven that he either directed their inappropriate actions or knowingly allowed them. I appreciate the entertainment value of a good witch hunt, though.

People behave and react in pretty predictable ways sometimes.

I even heard F911 grossed something like a gazillion dollars at the box office and was met with standing ovations in some theaters.
