Farewell, Miss Mapes!
Mapes, your resignation tomorrow morning, por favor.
Yup. Sounds like she's going to be promoted.
She'll get the axe after the election. Remember, she's celebrated as the woman who "broke" the Abu Ghraib prison abuse story (not true, but it plays well in the media).
I think the call connections went just the other way. From Burkette to Cleland.
Then Cleland told Lockhar so he called Burkette to check on the documents given to Cleland.
Then Lockhart called Mapes. Remember CBS said they had an "unimpeachable source" who they had to protect.
They are trying to spin the phone calls the other way because as bad as collusion with CBS looks--it looks even worse if the Democrats were the ones pushing the documents to CBS. That will truly sink Kerry and possibly the DEMS along with it.
"Lockhart, the second Kerry ally to confirm contact with retired Texas National Guard officer Bill Burkett, said he made the call at the suggestion of CBS producer Mary Mapes."
OMG- Where to begin? The journalistic ethics violated just in this ONE sentence are stunning...
but what is really remarkable is that Lockhart appears so corrupt that he's freely admitting the conversation took place...and DOESN'T REALIZE THIS IS A BREACH OF ETHICS.
It was reported on Fox that Mapes' own father called her a feminist liberal hack from the time she entered journalism school! LMAO
These clowns at SeeBS have been on this story for five friggin' years...and their prejudice was so blinded that they didn't even check their sources...
There are none so blind as those who refuse to see!
Mapes is gone and Blather should resign...but not for another sixty days...LMAO
