It's superficial. Mapes will have another job at some other liberal station tommorow! They should have fired Rather, before he ''quit'' and fired the head of CBS news!
I'm still waiting for Houston's "conservative" talk radio station to stop broadcasting SeeBS news updates every hour. They patted themselves on the back for ending Dan Blather's nightly idiotorial piece. They've also said that they "will eventually" replace it with Fox News updates.
I've since seen a statement from CC management that they may start up a liberal talk radio station in Houston sometime. If there is such an audience for such programming in Houston, why not put it on the news/talk station or share time with the all talk station? Why put it "elsewhere" on the dial?
Clear Channel's involvement is about profit and not about politics.
