Wow, reading the last bit about Mapes' "victory lap" at the office really says a lot about the MSM's incredible bias. They all thought they'd brought down Bush, and they were thrilled about it. Nice objectivity. Stinking parasites.

You should get that book and read the whole thing; if you think that is bad, you'll be furious when you're finished.

That's another bogus piece of reporting. She's quoted as saying she and Dan Rather broke the Abu Graib prison story in April. NPR and other "lesser" media were reporting that the military was conducting an extensive investigation into abusive conduct of some of its personnel at Abu Graib prison many months before April after receiving complaints from other personnel. The military was using its standard procedure of investigating and providing updates to the media, and many people, including myself, were aware of the story for months when the digital pictures came to light. The media then "broke" the story and reported it as if it had been covered up by the Bush Administration. The really arrogant part of this is the fact that the reason they were able to pretend the story was new was because the major news sources didn't bother to cover it at all until April because without pictures, they weren't interested in it.
