"It is obviously against CBS News standards and those of every other reputable news organization to be associated with any political agenda," the network said in a statement.

Setting Mapes up to take the fall. If that happens, I wonder
how she will react and what she would have to say.

Um yeah, New York Times, the CBS story is a bit more than simply "flawed," as you suggest.

Will Mary 'take one for the team', the "team" being a bit more generic and global reaching than the good ol' boys at CBS.

BS News said yesterday that the producer of its flawed report about President Bush's National Guard service violated network policy by putting a source in touch with a top aide to Senator John Kerry.

Stop it - I just ate.

The rebuke of the producer, Mary Mapes, also broadcast last night on "The CBS Evening News," served to underscore the change in Ms. Mapes's status in the last week.

And there, sports fans, is your sacrificial "lamb". In Birkenstocks.

She's smart enough to take one for the team, because she knows that after a couple of months of vacation, she'll be quietly hired as a campaign consultant by the Democrats. This will probably wind up being a career boost for her, as long as she plays ball.
