CBS Fires Mapes

Report just issues, mapes finally fired

[Gondring]

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?

[MeekOneGOP]

Four scapegoats. How about his majesty King Dan?

Yeah, I agree. They should have ZOTTED Gunga Dan too!

[Grampa Dave]

Asked to resign were Senior Vice President Betsy West, who supervised CBS News primetime programs; 60 Minutes Wednesday Executive Producer Josh Howard; Howard’s 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?

[Gondring]

I suppose saying it that way is better than screeching "MEN!"

[Gondring]

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

[noblejones]

Do you think Rather's obsession with President Bush's TANG service stems from his own failed status as a Baby Blue Marine?

[little jeremiah]

I'm sure you'll find out pretty soon and let us know!

[Grampa Dave]

Nothing like a small but important firing of left wing mediot maggots to make a semi Blue Monday a great day.

[mombonn]

Yip, yip, yahoo! Just got home and discovered the good news!

[Grampa Dave]

Note to the left wing maggots in charge of CBS phoney news. We still have our truth eye on your lying eye!

[daybreakcoming]

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

[Smartass]

Ahhh, errr, the Devil made me do it...

[Timeout]

"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.

[TruthWillWin]

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.

[Howlin]

Me, too!

Ain't we got fun!

[Grampa Dave]

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. :)

[CedarDave]

"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.

[zoobee]

I'm sure the Dems will hire her tomorrow.......

[Grampa Dave]

[TommyDale]

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