KVI Seattle's John Carlson is breaking a story about Mary Mapes...she did something like this at KIRO TV in '87...Carlson telling story now live
Post what you hear..
Well?......
please expand on wtf you talking about?
what is a mary mapes?
More, please!
CBS producer who was go between for Burkett and Lockhart.
Fabricated a story to try and unseat a successful Republican president and instill a Massachusetts liberal?
(steely)
LOL, probably just fabricated a story to bring down a Republican.
I hope we get more details. I won't be one bit surprised.
A female specimen disowned by her own father who recently said some very harsh things about her. She is extreme left and a hard core feminist (think in terms of Patricia Ireland x4!). A despicable woman by all means!
200 raids of crackhouses before 1 went wrong.
Erdman Baskin's door was knocked upon by police who busted door & went through. Erdman holds up a black object. Policeman kills him. It was a remote control. Baskin was black; officer was white. Everyone was on edge, etc.
30 to 60 days later there was an inquest. Did the police shoot too soon, etc.? Were people traumatized? etc.
As the inquest went on, all sorts of political ill will was created.
Pyro TV aired a story called "A Shot in the Dark" which was produced by Mary Mapes. At the 11th Hour, as the inquest was going, a witness came forward named Wardell Fincher who claimed police did not knock, but just burst through door and murdered Baskin. It made a tense situation worse. No one had seen this witness before, etc. He was featured in the story by Mary Mapes and influencing direction of the inquest itself.
NEXT, directly parallelling 60 minutes,........aaarrhhhh break to commercial........
Other reporters surmise that Mapes probably passed along Burkett's number to Lockhart in fulfillment of a bargain she cut with him to receive the documents. Doesn't excuse her behavior in the least, just explains some of it.

A Mary Mapes is a Producer for 60 Minutes at the Corrupt Broadcasting Service.
I'm sure I've mispelled some things up there.
Mary Mapes is the CBS producer who contacted the Kerry campaign on behalf of Bill Burkett, and asked them to contact him--which was his condition for giving the forged memos to CBS.
She's a woman? Quick! Get a Burka for her!
