The scandal in which liberal-biased CBS newsanchor Dan Rather aired on his 60 Minutes program documents that supposedly showed that George W. Bush received favorable treatment during his service as a national guardsman. The documents were later shown to be false. As a result, Rather's career has gone down the toilet, and he is resigning and stepping down from CBS Nightly News, effective as of March 2005.

Another term for Rathergate, a scandal where CBS was caught using fake documents during 2004.
