Father Says CBS 'Rathergate' Producer Mapes Had An Ax to Grind
But Mapes' father sees a political agenda behind his daughter's work. Don Mapes, 76, was a recent guest on a radio talk show hosted by John Carlson on KVI in Seattle.
He said, "I'm really ashamed of what my daughter has become. She's a typical liberal. She went into journalism with an ax to grind, and that was to promote radical feminism."
That's kind of intense, for a father to publicly diss his daughter. Probably didn't go over real well in the Mapes family.
