CBS biased? can't be they said so/sarcasm

"The accusation that there was bias in CBS News reporting of the election night results is completely without foundation."
Andrew Heyward
CBS News president

Maybe we should pull a "Kerry"

"This was not an isolated incident, but journalistic crimes committed on a day-to-day basis, with the full awareness at all levels of command."

That Kerry guy sure had a way with words!

I called CBS this morning and asked if Rather would be broadcasting election results this year. The gentleman I spoke with said. "CBS has no released that information, yet." I said, "Thank you," and hung up.

I have no doubt that Mapes is a hardcore liberal who was fully complicit in this, but I also predicted yesterday that she'd take the fall as the one wholly responsible, the one who misled poor old objective Dan.

Remember something very important, as well. This is the Always Partisan. These guys may not be telling the truth, or in their incompetence may simply have gotten it wrong!

A lot of people, even on FR, may never bring themselves to see something so obvious. Corroborate the story, particularly if you first hear it from the Always Partisan!

"She definitely was someone who was motivated by what she cared about and definitely went into journalism to make a difference," Carlson said. "She's not the sort of person who went into journalism to report the news and offer an array of commentary."

If she was pushing an agenda, she wasn't a journalist - she was an activist (and a fraud).

The actual Mapes looks more like the one on the right.

Ok forget all the noise on this story! Here is the Key! By their own admission both Burkett and Dan Rather say Burkett made the deal to show the Memos to SeeBS for putting him in touch with the KERRY Campaign.

Now they Lockart sez they didn't talk about these Memos but instead they talked about an unspecified way to hit back at the Bush Campaign (over the swift boat vets) yet they did not talk about these memos.(?)

Think about that for a second...

Lockart denies he and Burkett talked about this story but instead talked about a way to hit back at the BUSH Campaign over the Swift Boat vets that apparently had nothing to do with these memos...

Does anyone believe this?

Thanks! Mapes has an obvious MO. I hope that she is fired.

Posted by SauronOfMordor to metalurgist If people at CBS are saying this, she must be somewhere to the left of Trotsky

The part that disturbs me about her is that she isn't the only one working in the news media that is like her, there are probably thousands, like a termite mound, all gnawing away at the very fabric of our country.

this guy Burkett seems to be dumber than a New York Democrat :-)

Dumb? I don't know about that. But he's as mentally stable as ----- hmmmmmm --- Dan Rather.

She was also the producer of Danny boy's 1988 slander of Vietnam veterans called "The Wall Within".

Is that right? That one p*&&%^ me off even more than this memo-gate story. Shame there wasn't a internet back then.
