CBS News President Andrew Heyward kept his job. The panel said Heyward had explicitly urged caution before the report aired

As CBS News President, Mr. Heyward should have been the first neck in the noose. Why does he get a pass? What ever to the "buck stops here"? He urged caution? He should have demanded it.

32. Rather set up


Rather and Mapes were after Bush for five years. Bush knew this, Rove knew this and they played Rather like a fool.

Whether the story was planted by Rove or not, Mapes should have taken the time to decipher the story before presenting it to Rather for broadcast.

The story they should have run should not have been about Bush's TANG service. It should have been about passing off documents to CBS.

Finally. Took them long enough. Guess Blather working behind the scenes didn't want to have to face the instrument of his downfall from the general public's viewing. Too bad CBS still has Blather working. His malice for all pubbies will still be at work.

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

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

I have only one comment on Mapes and I'm sure it's been said, but I predict she's working at CNN or PBS inside of 18 mos.

ROTFLOL Gotta love the key words! BUMP Mapes used to work here in the Seattle area where she had an incident of doing the very same thing: a totally unreliable witness who perjured himself!

She's a scapegoat who deserved to get canned. But heck, it's almost mid January 2005! And they still haven't fired Rath who was the 'brains' behind the cover-up : the false but true defense.

If there was mo Media bias how do they explain 5 years researching GWB's Guard record and NO investigation of Kerry's outrageous record?
