To these people, there was no such thing as unbiased mainstream reporting, certainly not when it came to criticism of the president, no matter how tepid. To them, there was Fox News and everything else -- and everything else was liberal and unfair.

This is stunningly ignorant. I wonder if she really believes it. I tend toward thinking that statements like this are deliberate jabs at Fox News (or talk radio or the Internet -- take your pick), just a bunch of lefties striking out, but you have to consider the possibility that she really believes this, and that just floors me! How can you be at the top of your field in TV journalism and so woefully misunderstand the world around you?

Go, Pajamahadeem!

Yes, thank God for your nephew's
safe return.

"I get the feeling that outside of FR nobody really knows who she is. :P"

Yes, they do. She's the-- She's the--

Who is she again?

"Remember Hillary and "gulping for air" when she supposedly discovered Bill's indiscretion with Monica?"

Wow! And to think, she wasn't even covered by national health insurance.

"I had a real physical reaction as I read the angry online accounts. It was something between a panic attack, a heart attack, and a nervous breakdown. My palms were sweaty; I gulped and tried to breathe. . . . The little girl in me wanted to crouch and hide behind the door and cry my eyes out."

Obviously, she's related to Kathleen Blanco.

“And right now, on the Internet, it appeared everything was falling apart. I had a real physical reaction as I read the angry online accounts. It was something between a panic attack, a heart attack, and a nervous breakdown. My palms were sweaty; I gulped and tried to breathe. . . . The little girl in me wanted to crouch and hide behind the door and cry my eyes out."

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! Poor baby!

[Chode]

absolutely... a morbid obsession at that!!! and i hope she relives her nightmare every night for the rest of her wretched life.

It was something between a panic attack, a heart attack, and a nervous breakdown. My palms were sweaty; I gulped and tried to breathe. . . .

How such a fragile person gained a position of management is mind boggling.

That's just typical left-wing feminist behaivior.

When things are going their way, they loudly boast that anything a man can do, they can do better.

However, when the going gets tough, they immediately shift into fragile victim mode and swoon into a fainting couch.

You'd think Monica wrote this...

What you saw was a FReeper parody of the book cover:

[airborne]

My nephew is one of the many heroes of his generation.

How would Mapes have felt if rather than just a website, freepers had a TV show - a popular one - something like 60 Minutes.

And if instead of just telling the truth about her, freepers had forged documents telling lies about her? How would that effect her?

She can dish it out...

[GOPJ]

bump

[mosquitobite]

Good point. Perhaps someone with a 1970's typewriter could have come out of the woodwork to help her out. LMAO...

iiiidiot!

[ashtanga]

Yes, Mary, I'm the new McCarthyite, and you are still the anointed one. If you are seen as a crypto-communinist, it must be some sinister plot, not your own actions that led to your downfall.
