Apparently, those Peabody people want to make sure we know where they stand.

Dan Rather and Mary Mapes, the reporter/producer team behind the discredited Bush National Guard hit job, won a prestigious Peabody Award last Thursday for their Abu Ghraib story which aired earlier last year on 60 Minutes II.

If the award was ever truly prestigious, I think this has removed any prestige it may have had.

. . . and Carter got the Nobel Peace Prize.

Since Abu Ghraib was FAR from a crucial story, I guess this shows that those handing out awards are simply interested in rewarding those who actively and deceitfully embarrass the Bush administration.

Maybe it USED TO BE prestigious. Didn't Arafat win the nobel peace prize?

You can judge an award by it's company, not the other way around.

Peabody award? Never heard of it. Does it mean their body is shaped like a pea?

Very strange award, you have to walk up backwards to receive it behind your back.
