It seems The New Yorker knew in advance about Mapes' story

From "Kerry's Brain," an article by Ken Auletta in The New Yorker: Page 67: "Last week, the Vietnam War became an issue again. Democrats seized upon new evidence that seemed to show that George W. Bush had used political influence to be assigned to the Texas Air National Guard during the Vietnam War."
TOPICS: Politics
KEYWORDS: auletta; danscam; mapes; napalminthemorning; newyorker; rathergate; shrum
Since Ken Auletta's article is about Robert Shrum (senior advisor to the Kerry campaign) and his wife, Marylouise Oates, and since there would have been only a four-hour window of opportunity between the "60 Minutes" broadcast and the beginning of the discrediting controversy started by the Freeper, it is practically impossible to explain Auletta's word "seized" without attributing to him a membership in a left-wing journalistic conspiracy. I hope that Mr. Auletta is interviewed as part of the CBS inquiry.
