"She's not the sort of person who went into journalism to report the news and offer an array of commentary."

Yeah... Joe Goebbel's felt the same way.

When I was in college, we were involved in some charity work and 60 minutes II came down to do a story on us. Turns out they never did the story, we were just backup. I remember them talking about how they wanted to cover us because we were 'making a difference' and that that was why they went into journalism. I remember a common theme they had was 'doing good' and 'exposing wrongs in our society'.

We spent a good deal of time with them and they were very nice people, but even then I remembered thinking they were very agenda driven. I was thinking, "wait a sec, I thought 60 minutes was an investigative reporting show, not an advocacy group". This was back when I was a lib myself so go figure...

It is a shame cuz all these 'good deeds' they try to do often hurt the very people they are trying to help. The best example is welfare, which I did a study on:

Mapes is going to take the fall to protect Rather, and to deflect attention from the Dimocratic Party connection.

Wonder if she'll still stonewall for Rather once she's been branded a liar and put out on the street?

THE DOCUMENT ISSUE IS DEALT WITH, FINISH THE NAIL IN THE COFFIN FOR dnCBS... THESE ARE THE ISSUES THAT SHOULD BE IN THE PRESS EVERYWHERE AND IT WILL FINISH dnCBS

The other issues expose HOW THE MEDIA WING OF THE DEMOCRAT PARTY ACTUALLY WORKS! CBS' "gold standard" included:

1. The widow and son were IGNORED
2. Document experts were IGNORED
3. Hodges was MISLED
4. The old secretary was NOT INTERVIEWED until afterward
5. Staudt, who had his character attacked in one memo, was never contacted
6. The opinions of the experts were MISREPRESENTED
7. The swift boat veterans were MALIGNED
8. George Bush's roomate DURING HIS GUARD YEARS, who AGREED TO SPEAK TO THEM WAS TURNED DOWN BECAUSE HE WAS TOO "PRO BUSH"...

And the list goes on. Fact is, this was a HIT PIECE ON BUSH. And just because dnCBS owns up to fake documents does NOT CLEAR THEIR PROPAGANDA / DNC REPORTING!!

Rather acknowledged Monday that Burkett didn't come to CBS. The network approached him about the documents, knowing he had been trying for several years to discredit Mr. Bush's military service record, he said.

1. How, oh how, did CBS know to go to the one man in America who had these documents? The Dems are up to their necks in this. I hope it all comes out by November 2.

2. I'm sure this isn't the only time Mapes has abused her position. It's just the first time this liberal hack has been exposed.

That woman, who Can't Understand Normal Thinking, was also the producer of Dan Rather's 1988 slander of Vietnam veterans called "The Wall Within". They used fake 'veterans' to make their case that all Vietnam veterans were messed up. B.G. Burkett and ABC's 20/20 won an award for debunking CBS's garbage 'reporting'.

How, oh how, did CBS know to go to the one man in America who had these documents?

Max Cleland. It goes like this: Burkett went to Cleland, then Cleland went to CBS, then CBS went to Burkett.

Forgot to mention that Cleland is the "unimpeachable source" that Rather was talking about.
