Mapes was the producer who ran down the story for years. Ultimately, she is responsible for what she produces. She was not a scapegoat. She was very much in charge. EXACTLY!
Has anyone created a list of all the things she's been involved in (and caught)? I was just reading this thread saying "Mary Mapes was sending protected letters to a Prisoner in a High Security Prison in Colorado." There's a long history of things indicating her political bias, too, right?

Asked to resign were Senior Vice President Betsy West, who supervised CBS News primetime programs; 60 Minutes Wednesday Executive Producer Josh Howard; Howards deputy, Senior Broadcast Producer Mary Murphy. The producer of the piece, Mary Mapes, was terminated. Inquiring minds wonder if these 3 fire women are hostile lesbians who hate GW?

Actually, that is "Extra-Chromosome" whereas this is "different chromosome"... I assumed that meant "MEN!" but who knows...maybe she has the Y-chromosome?

Do you think Rather's obsession with President Bush's TANG service stems from his own failed status as a Baby Blue Marine?
To: Grampa Dave
I'm sure you'll find out pretty soon and let us know!

Interesting observation - your post #306. His mannerisms during that broadcast certainly indicated how obsessed he was.

"different chromosome"... I assumed that meant "MEN!" Elsewhere in the report, there was discussion that led me to conclude that Mapes' idea of a "different chromosome Republican" is a McCain supporter.
I don't have time to go back and find it now, but I'm sure I read it not far away from the other chromosome comment.

The MSM spin apparently is to emphasize that "no political bias" was the conclusion of the report?
Yeah right, they still don't have a clue about what is wrong and continue to be in complete denial.

We have had ton of rain and gloomy days out here on the Left Coast for weeks, and today is overcast with more rain predicted later.
So this belated news from c BS is a nice mood lifter. :)

"It isn't erroneous, it is mistyped. The lf- after focus should be a slash/ " Ah right! However I think it would be a good idea if he (JimRob) could set up one page that would actually be reachable using the mistyped URL, then have that redirect to the correct URL.
Sounds like a plan. PING to Jim and John.

I notice that the report refers to the contact with Joe Lockhart of the Kerry Campaign as a "conflict of interest". Gee, YA THINK?
