Excellent: "The Mapes of Wrath."

Thanks for the feedback of her other tv appearances.

Whoever her handler/pr person is, isn't helping Mapes by allowing her to do these interviews.

we'd made news.

That says it all, Mary. You made up "news".

Thanks for the clarification.

Mapes is a fool. She is even an embarrassment to the liberal news media. How bad can that be?

"Mapes is a fool. She is even an embarrassment to the liberal news media. How bad can that be?"

Apparently it is even worse for Mapes than we suspected.


Look at the CBS response to her appearance on GMA. This was sent to Larry King before and he read it before he interviewed Mapes. Apparently O'Reilly got the same response before Mapes was on his show.

"(After yesterday's Mapes' Good Morning America appearance, CBS issued the following statement, which Larry King read to Mapes last night):

"KING: We're here with Mary Mapes, the book "Truth and Duty, the Press, the President and the Privilege of Power." CBS News gave us this statement today.

"Mary Mapes' actions damaged CBS News as an organizational and brought pain to many colleagues with whom she worked. Her disregard for journalistic standards -- and for her colleagues -- comes through loud and clear in her interviews and in the book that attempts to rewrite the history of this complex and sad affair.

As always, revisionist history must be tested against the facts. Not only are those facts contained in the extensive media coverage that took place at the time, but also in the 200-plus-page report of the independent panel which investigated the matter for more than three months.

We believe those facts speak for themselves. The idea that a news organization would not need to authenticate such important source material is only one of the troubling and erroneous statement in her account."

(Mapes only reply was: CBS has been working on that statement for months.)

I saw the Mapeist on O'Reilly's show earlier last night --

O'Reilly was amazed by her attitude and self-invented "media standards" --

The Mapeopath has a very strange souless look in her eyes --



Interesting note: "Mapeopath" passed FR's "Spellcheck"

I can just imagine O'Reilly having that email from CBS news about the Mapeopath before his interview.

If and when lunatics like Mapes/Blather ever tell the truth, do they even realize that it is the truth?

She thinks that the press will give her the same pass that they gave Clinton.
