I LOVE the fact that Mary Mapes is now making the rounds of the media circuit and plugging her pathetic fiction book defending her use of FORGED documents for a SeeBS story last year. The more she blabs the more folks out there see that most of the MSM, as Bernie Goldberg has claimed, is BIASED. And remember. Mary Mapes is TYPICAL of the producers in the MSM television newsrooms. Of course, Mary does have a few staunch defenders. Does it surprise anybody that such defenders are from DUmmieland as you can see in this THREAD titled, "Fired CBS News Producer Unrepentant." As usual the laughable DUmmie delusions defending their beloved Mary Mapes are in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, wondering what Mary's DUmmie screen name is, is in the [brackets]:
Fired CBS News Producer Unrepentant
["Why should I have to prove that documents upon which I base my stories are authentic. It's up to others to prove they are fake." ...And now on to the rest of this ABC News story...]
In her first interview since being fired, former CBS News producer Mary Mapes maintains that her controversial "60 Minutes II" story on President Bush's National Guard service was "true" and that "no one has proved that the documents were not authentic."...
In her interview with ABC News chief investigative correspondent Brian Ross, to be broadcast Wednesday morning on "Good Morning America," Mapes says she is unrepentant about her role. "I don't think I committed bad journalism. I really don't," she says....
[Yeah, proportional spacing and superscripts will magically appear if you photocopy 1970s era documents long enough, Mary. And now that Miss Mapes has shared her delusions with us, let us hear from the equally delusional DUmmies on this topic...]
Why on earth should she be repentant? She's one of the few journalists out there trying to do her job.
[Mary Mapes has met the journalistic standards of DUmmieland---basing a news story on FORGED documents.]
Go Mary, go Mary, go Mary go
Tell the story again. America needs to be reminded of how stinky and shameful the military record is for our Usurper-in-Chief.
Only good can come from this.
[True. Only good can come from this because the more Mary Mapes speaks, the more the public can see how delusional and biased Mary and her Leftist cohorts are. Go Mary, go Mary, go Mary go. Continue to make fools out of yourself and your friends.]
He lied to the American people it is Mary's fault for reporting it? Has this country gone f*cking insane!!!!!!
[Yes. The country is so insane that they actually require that news reports be based on AUTHENTIC documents, NOT forgeries.]
And they still haven't proven * is not a deserter
[Sigh! Proving a negative? HEY! Prove you're not a pervert.]
DU proved her right. We all know she is right.
[DUmmieland proved those documents were authentic? News to me.]
How is putting forth an obviously faked memo newsworthy?
[LOUSY FREEPER TROLL!!!]
The memo was NOT obviously faked. I'm one of the ones who used an IBM Executive typewriter back then. It had proportional spacing.
[And superscripts, Che Guevara?]
It has been proved to the satisfaction of DU that the docs were legit
[And it has been proved to the satisfaction of DUmmieland that there really is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow where John Kerry was inaugurated on Jan. 20.]
The secretary said the story was probably true. It's just the piece of paper it was typed on that was in doubt.
[Sounds like a "ringing endorsement" to me except for that nasty little fact about the forged documents.]
they should air the story at this point, the story itself is a story.
[Yeah. Who cares that the story was based on forged documents?]
She was dumber than a box of rocks
1) Bill Burkett gives CBS what he says are the memos.
2) Burkett provides CBS with the name of the person he claims were the memos' source, a former National Guard buddy of his named George Conn.
3) Mary Mapes fails for some unfathomable reason to call the alleged source to verify Burkett's story.
4) When questions surrounding the memos surface, Burkett changes his story to say that his actual source was really somebody else, a person named "Lucy Ramirez". Burkett is revealed as a whack job.
5) CBS finally gets around to calling Burkett's original named source, George Conn tells CBS he wasn't the source for Burkett's memos, and that he knows absolutely nothing about the whole thing.
6) Mary Mapes could have prevented this monumental embarrassment to CBS News simply by adhering to basic high school journalism standards -- calling the original source to verify facts.
[We regret to inform you that your DUmmieLand Tombstoning ceremony is about to begin.]
She fell for the oldest Rovian trick in the book: using bogus documents... ... to "debunk" a real story. Alas, she deserves her fate.
[Lucy Ramirez was really Karl Rove dressed in drag.]
cheering a brave woman.
[HOORAH!!! She's brave enough to make a complete fool of herself in public.]
Of course! Here is how it will work as of what I know now. You simply subscribe for FREE to the Podcast and the MP3 file of each Podcast is AUTOMATICALLY downloaded to your computer whenever a new DUFU Podcast goes online. Then you can either listen to it via your computer or transfer the MP3 file to an MP3 player. You can listen either directly to the MP3 Player with earphones or listen on your car or other stereo system via infrared from the MP3 device.
The DUFU Podcasts won't be just me reading the DUFUs. That would be redundant. Instead it will be like a conversational radio show with a rotating cohost talking about the DUmmies in particular and a lot of other things in general. Emphasis to be on HUMOR. Plus it will have COMMERCIALS!!! Hey, why not make a buck off DUmmie woes?
You could prove to the satisfaction of DU that an aluminum hubcap is King Arthur's crown, if this assertion would somehow damage Bush.
It has been proven to the satisfaction of FR, that DU is full of DUmmies.
In exchange for allowing to me rag on her case a bit, I will allow Ms Ford to play one or two of her country music songs (she performs at some South Florida events) as well as to plug her VirtualViewHomes.Com website. BTW, if you click on the "Our Television Commercial" button over there, you will see Barbara Ford. Her commercials actually did run on late night TV here.
Anyway, that is just one of the planned cohosts. Another cohost wants to be a Playboy Playmate so I promised her that I would put in a plug for her on the Podcast with a direct appeal to Hugh Hefner. Yeah, yeah. I know. The chance of such an appeal to Hef has a chance of between nil and none of actually working but that is enough to get her to cohost. Oh, and it would give me an opportunity to rag on a pet peeve I have about Playboy Playmates of the past 15 years or so looking artificial... Like I said the DUFU Podcast won't be all politics. The emphasis is on humor.
Besides telling your age, you are also telling lies. After using IBM Executive typewriters since the early 70s for filling out multi part forms, this DUmmie is as full of c*** as a baby's diaper after 12 hours.
I had one in my shop for repair the week this story broke, and it had neither proportional spacing or sup script.
I tried to type that fake memo on that typewriter every way possible, but none fit the "faked but accurate" memos.
I'm shocked that this groundbreaking information was never known, until now. /s
Drinking the Kool Aid, as usual.
I had one in my shop for repair the week this story broke, and it had neither proportional spacing or sup script.
LOL!!
Question, PJ. When someone custom-builds a computer for you, is it under any kind of warranty?
Yeah, the DUFU Podcasts will be about politics PLUS a bit of Jerry Springer type stuff as well.
Hanging around women's bathrooms -- AT WAL-MART?????
That makes you ESPECIALLY eeeeeeevil! ;-)
I don't think even the IBM Selectric had proportional spacing.
Actually, I'm down there on a monthly basis anyway.
It is someone I know so the warranty is as good as your trust in your friend.
No, Lucy Ramirez is Terrence J. Wilkinson in drag.
Well, I actually do know a Colombiana named Elisabeth. However, she isn't that much older than you. Unbelievably she can't cook a thing. I mean she can't even fry an egg which I find amazing.
I guess I could get the guy to sign a warranty agreement that I write up but ultimately it comes down to trust.
So this DUmmie now is pro-military? Then I'm SURE she/he/it could not POSSIBLY have voted for Bill "The Artful Dodger" Clinton, who has NO--ZERO--military record, who avoided any form of military service, and who said at the time, "I loathe the military." At least George W. Bush served in the Air National Guard.
George W. Bush flew jet aircraft. Clinton protested overseas. Algore wielded a typewriter for a few months. John Fraud Kerry did . . . what, exactly? . . . during the war, and then came home and disgraced himself.
So I'm sure none of the DUmmies ever voted for any of these Dems with "stinky and shameful" military records.
Yes, let's tell Mary where she can go.
