Dan Rather’s last stand has fallen.

CBS said Wednesday it is cancelling the Wednesday edition of “60 Minutes,” insisting the decision was made because of poor ratings and not last fall’s ill-fated story about President Bush’s military service.

Dan Rather, the newsmagazine’s lead correspondent, will contribute stories to the Sunday edition of “60 Minutes,” said CBS Chairman Leslie Moonves.

“This was a ratings call, not a content call,” Moonves said Wednesday.

This was his consolation prize after leaving the “CBS Evening News”. However, given the ratings for that in the past years, it’s hard to see why he got anything.

And by the way, Les: Don’t you think that the ratings of “60 Minutes II” were a result of the content?
