'''"Rathergate"''' is the derisive term applied to a set of four documents allegedly written by the former commanding officer of President [[George W. Bush]] in the early 1970's, and broadcast on ''CBS Minutes Wednesday'', September 8, 2004. The resultant exposure of these documents as forgeries, coupled with a lack of proper news investigating techniques, led to the ouster of four senior producers at CBS several months later, as well as the departure of long-time anchorman [[Dan Rather]], for whom the scandal was named.
