She is talking about 60 Minutes. I had not realized she was with Dan Rather and 60 Minutes from its birth.
It's not just a river in Egypt! Victim my butt.
She and Dan Rather committed fraud and FR/LGF nailed them! The "victim" of the crime is GWB who only ended up being assisted by their chicanery.
I still fail to see the logic in the continued dismissal of the forgeries. "But the story is esentially true!"
"This was something else, something new and fundamentally frightening," Mapes writes. "I had never seen this kind of response to any story.
Now you know not to make up $h!t. That's what happens when people find out they've been sold a bill of goods.
Mary , you ignorant sl*t".... THINK before you try to fabricate a news story (lie) about our President..... The new media is here, it ain't going anywhere and it's keeping you jerks at the MSM inline!
She hadn't been visiting DU, D-Kos, and other leftist blogs? It only shows two possibilities: (1) she's okay with the "vulgarity" of the left, but not of the right. (2) Err... she never visited any blog but called herself a 'credible' journalist?
KMA.

Durka Durka, Baby!!
Hail Mary, full of Sh*t!
I'm a proud member of the
Vast Right Wing Conspiracy! 
Mighty nice of her to give us credit, but as I recall it was one Cagen idiot-stick who declare "this is waaa".
When it was the democrats trashing Reagan for several decades, it didn't classify as waaa, but when we decided to make sure the 'other side' got out, that was.
Mary, ever heard of James Carville? Didn't think so.
Does anyone else remember an event that happened back during the 1988 presidential campaign? Dan Quayle combined an outdoor rally with a news conference. A couple of male CBS reporters (might have been Bob Schieffer and Bill Plant) started asking Quayle some of those "let's get this guy" kinds of questions, ones that he had already answered.
The crowd began to vigorously boo the CBS guys and what was most telling was the reporters' "we're shocked and offended" reaction--how dare they do this to us. I'll never forget that.
T R U T H HURTS, HUH, MARY?........
"hyperconservative" oh, I like that.
Utter, unadulterated, c_BS.
What? Does Buckhead.com get no credit for breaking this? /sarc
Well done, Freepers! I was a newbie-freeper when this started. It has an enjoyable gloat-fest ever since!

Mary Mapes: The Missing F-Word
CBS PRODUCER MARY MAPES remains a news item because of her pivotal role in the bogus-document fiasco that further dishonored CBS and mass media in general. (Note: I refuse to succumb to the pandemic mindlessness that suffixes every scandal since Nixon with a “gate,” as if to suggest some ever-beckoning passage to a dark universe of journalistic stupidity.) But my gate-trashing is merely an aside, and this piece truly is about Mary Mapes, specifically about how the mainstream media’s portraits of her all omit the vital fact her own father labels her a radical feminist – a labeling that, if accurate, explains all one needs to know of the motives driving Mapes’ documented penchant for bad journalism – reporting that is (at the least) profoundly biased and may indeed stoop to deliberate fabrication. Mapes’ father was quoted on this very topic a couple of weeks ago by John Carlson, a conservative talk-radio host on Seattle’s KVI; the father, whose name is Don Mapes, said he is "really ashamed” of his daughter, adding that “she went into journalism with an ax to grind...to promote feminism.” And “radical feminism" at that.

You can't fight city hall.
We slay network anchors and derail presidential campaigns around here. A local city hall is in the nature of a between-meals snack. 45 posted on 10/01/2005 10:59:38 PM EDT by Interesting Times (ABCNNBCBS -- yesterday's news.) [ Post Reply | Private Reply | To 26 | View Replies | Report Abuse ]
