CBS Wooing Lauer, Russert for Rather Job

Newsweek magazine reports Monday that CBS has approached both men to see if they’d be interested jumping networks to take over what has traditionally been one of the most powerful jobs in television.
Both are still under contract to NBC. But the opportunity to anchor a nightly, national newscast might be too much to resist.
