Mary Mapes Names Names ("Anonymous" Ones)

Posted by Bill

An excerpt from page 201 of her new book:

Within minutes of Buckhead's original posting, Freepers began to repeat and embellish Buckhead's thoughts. Not surprisingly, they all agreed with him, they all agreed with one another, and they all agreed this should be pursued aggressively. Freethinkers they are not. The Freepers and their lockstep like-minded fellow travelers moved as a group, like a school of sharks sweeping toward an unaware and unarmed victim. CBS was like some sunburned, overweight Florida tourist with a cut foot, floundering and flapping in the water alone in the surf. The Freepers swarmed CBS not because it was right or fair but because they could.

On Web sites such as Powerline, INDC Journal, Allahpundit, and Spacetownusa, the bravehearts of the blogging world worked anonymously in what appeared to be huge numbers, in unison, to destroy the Bush-Guard story, to uphold one another's wild and hateful claims, to outshout, outargue, and outblog anyone who dared to disagree. And on their Web sites there is no disagreement. They hate in unison, they speak with one angry voice, they each make themselves bigger by staying as close together as possible.

Hey where do get one of those badges? I need one to be in lockstep with everyone else. I didn't know I was a mind numb robot.

Actually, she was just on Cavuto. Her rational for credbility was she was from Texas and lived in Texas while GWB was Governor.

I am not one to normally recommend ridicule upon the scorned of our society.

But I think that in Mary's case I can make an exception.

This woman should be hounded to her grave for her attempt to wrongly manipulate a presidential election. She should be driven into exile such that she experiences Hell on earth for the rest of her days here on earth.

Future generations of parents could give a warning to their children,

'You be nice now, you don't want to be Maped, do you?'

"That is the most bizzare case of denial I've ever read. Mapes makes Hillary Clinton seem like an amateur. But, it is a rock solid verification of the media's arrogance and bias.
Just saw her on Cavuto's show - she was arrogant and angry, and Neil was getting angry too."

My impression exactly... the woman seems filled with hatred, and reacts with vitriol when anyone asks something like: "Gee, do you think you should have made sure this damaging story was TRUE before running with it during a Presidential election?"

Actually, seeing this segment brightened up my day - just because it made be glad to be me and not HER. :-)

That's OK. I think Mary should just keep on talking. She sounds like a baby, and is saying preposterous things.

I LIKE it. :)

"Because they could." Works for me.
When Mapes' body is donated to science they'll find she has no gene for fact recognition.

Ah, yes, Eason Jordan, gold plated idol of the MSM, one of the principal architects of the Gates Of Hell. From Wilkpedia;

Eason Jordan was Chief News Executive for CNN, and had been with the news network from 1982 until his resignation in 2005. He studied Journalism at Georgia State University.

Jordan played a key role in planning CNN coverage of world events and conflicts.

He is the recipient of two Emmy Awards, two Peabody Awards and the DuPont-Columbia Award.

Was known for having a relationship with Marrianne Pearl, widow of slain Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl.

Controversy

On August 16, 1997, Jordan (as CNN Chief News Executive) gave a gift to North Korean leader Kim Jong-il in an attempt to improve CNN's access to North Korean affairs. [1] (Jordan had been credited in 1996 with gaining exclusive access to North Korea for CNN reporters.)

On March 10, 1999, while speaking at Harvard, Jordan thanked Cuban President Fidel Castro for his comments instigating CNN's decision to broadcast in other countries, CNN International.

On April 11, 2003, Jordan confessed that CNN knew about human rights abuses committed in Iraq by Saddam Hussein since 1990, but the network abstained from coverage of them in order to gain better access to information on Hussein's government. Jordan maintained that complete reporting would have jeopardized the lives of Iraqi informants, and confidentiality was ensured to protect the lives of anti-Hussein Iraqi activists and translators.

In November 2004 at the News Xchange conference in Portugal, Jordan claimed that United States armed forces were arresting and torturing non-coalition Arabic journalists in Iraq. He also claimed that American troops were intentionally killing these journalists. [2] That month, al-Arabiya reporter Abdel Kader al-Saadi had been detained by U.S. forces for 11 days during U.S.-led attacks on Fallujah without comment on cause for his dentention. [3]

On January 27, 2005, Jordan claimed that American troops are targeting journalists in Iraq. The charges were said to have been made during the World Economic Forum annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland. He has since backtracked from the statement. Tapes of the event are being withheld from the public.

On February 11, 2005, Eason Jordan resigned to "prevent CNN from being unfairly tarnished by the controversy over conflicting accounts of my recent remarks regarding the alarming number of journalists killed in Iraq." The right wing of the blogosphere played a crucial part in achieving his resignation, keeping the story going despite the mainstream media's refusal to run the story at the outset of the scandal

She really does not understand Free Republic if she believes the "lockstep" notion. Interestingly I cannot recall seeing any Internet discussion group of any political ideology that was in "lockstep".

Visit DU and you will see lots of arguments about both big picture and details on any issue. The same is true for any Usenet political group.

This lady is beyond stupid--she is stuck in the sixties and can't escape.

The Freepers swarmed CBS not because it was right or fair but because they could.

Nevermind that the "memos" were not just fakes, but bad fakes that were created with Microsoft word. Oh no...apparently that's not relevant to Frau Mapes.

I wish I had kept a copy of AFM 10-1 from that era. It was our style book. If you were in the USAF all you had to do was look at that piece of trash to see it was fake. Hell you didn't even have to read it to see it.
