More comment from Ardolino:

"Mary, no hard feelings? Even in forced retirement, Mapes continues her legacy of accuracy, as neither Powerline, nor Spacetown, nor INDC Journal worked anonymously during the scandal. I invite everyone to revisit my September archives and peruse the "wild and hateful claims" made by INDC. Good times.

"I will grant her one thing - the "school of sharks" analogy is pretty accurate, though her description of a helpless victim (a multi-million dollar respected professional news organization) is a bit ... off. And let's not forget who chummed the water."

[Incorrigible]

Awwww. Poor widdle CBS.

"They hate in unison, they speak with one angry voice, they each make themselves bigger by staying as close together as possible."

I assume she's talking about the "vast LEFT WING conspiracy" here. The so called "liberals" (who's more fascist and hate filled than the "libs"?) and all of their anti-American haters and sycophants?

[Tijeras_Slim]

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

Want some more, Mary?

"respected professional news organization ???

Respected only by themselves, and mind-numbed leftist.

[School of Rational Thought]

Clearly she is experiencing some type of mental breakdown. Very sad. NY Times clearly had know choice to force her out.

-"...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...

You now see they type of people running the inner workings of the MSM. A great insight into the mindset of the people managing and reporting (propagandizing) the news to the sheeple EVERY SINGLE DAY!

This is utterly dispicable!

The 'brainwashing' these people are trying to do on a daily basis on the entire population.

This is one war that the Bush administration is loosing realy badly these days. I, and many of us, do not see any intensity or drive to counteract the onslought of the RATS and MSM that's been going on now since the election was won.

If Bush winds up his 2nd term in a 'weakened' state, this will critically hurt the chances of retaining the Excutive branch in 2008 (regardless who runs).

Last night, Michael Savage was describing how the wicked of the last century and this one turn things upside down. First, on kristalnacht, the establishment pummeled the oppressed; last week in France, the oppressed punished the establishment. Mary Mapes, whoever she thinks she is, turns today's whole political picture upside down, sort of like calling good evil and evil good.

Her description of FR sounds just like the DemonRATS/press/Hellywood/university cabal. They harp the same old tune day after day like a broken record and nobody has an original thought. She ripped that label off them and put it on us.

Poor Mary is still trying to force a square peg through a around hole... She just can't get it through her pea little brain that those 1970's era "documents" were made by a modern computer. That not even type setters of the era could have made those documents without serious effort. And that they were supposedly produced on a military base typewriter...

Keep it up Mary, and you will need to seek professional psychological help... Obsession with non reality is a serious problem...

[alnick]

Oh my goodness, she must have taken writing lessons from Matt Cooper.

[smith288]

I would say a better analogy is this:

CBS, like a sunburned, elitist tourist, flaked the waters with bloody chum in an ignorant and zealous attempt to draw the sharks to Bush, another visiting tourist enjoying the warm waters.

Only CBS did not realize that they apparently cut themselves with their own stupidity leading the right wing sharks to devour the source of the warm, fresh blood flowing like a red cloud in the deep blue sky.

The CBS tourist quickly found himself in a tight spot yet pathetically continued to throw the chum towards Bush, the sharks were not fooled. They continued to persue the live target in a frenzy resembling a scene from Jaws.

Bush went on frolicking in the waters but CBS was left struggled to the shore as the shark ripped him apart.

What was remaining of CBS was an ugly sight but still to this day throws dried up, rotten chum at Bush.

Don't forget to purchase her new book: Truth and Doody

[SirJohnBarleycorn]

The arrogance and condescension of these people like Mapes in the MSM is beyond measure. They feel they have the right to conduct fraudulent political assassinations and to shove it down the throats of the people of this country without consequence.

Ugh.

[randita]

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.

Yeah, no disagreement over John Roberts or Harriet Miers. No, none at all.

Whenever liberals are cornered, they throw out this VRWC bunk. Like they're the only ones who think for themselves and conservatives are just a bunch of "mind numbed robots".

[JoeGar]

Freepers began to repeat and embellish Buckhead's thoughts.

It's called collaborative problem-solving, my dear.

[Bear_Slayer]

Not surprisingly, they all agreed with him, they all agreed with one another, and they all agreed this should be pursued aggressively. [they] moved as a group, like a school of sharks sweeping toward an unaware and unarmed victim. . . . They hate in unison, they speak with one angry voice, they each make themselves bigger by staying as close together as possible.

Isn't she referring to the MSM?

[PilloryHillary]

Ms. Mapes sounds like some of the trolls around FR lately. She needs to get a life.

[WakeUpAndVote]

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.

_____

She still knows nothing about FR. There are issues that we are not "lockstep" on. However, when there is a flat out lie being told, a deliberate fabrication to unseat the POTUS....

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.

_____

No Mary, she pointed that out already.

And it was not because we could, it was because we had to. You were deliberately telling America and the world a lie. We had the proof, You were exposed.

As for out shouting, and out arguing, all we did was tell people the truth. But, then again what do you know about the truth?

[DoctorMichael]

Mary.......................................stfu.

[Bookwoman]

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.

Give me a break. One reason I love this site is the debate! We do, however, know truth when we see it and there was no question about this one. Buckhead was right and we supported him.

The MSM needs to understand that it is a whole new world out there and being a "sunburned overweight Florida tourist" doesn't make it anymore. People have too many other places to get their news. The MSM will be held accountable for their actions. They can't get away with what they used to do to deceive. People are becoming more aware of their practices now. The internet is the new Fourth Estate.

"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."

She has written, with a few name changes, the Modus Operindi of the news profession for the past fifty years. That last sentence is The Boston Globe, The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times, The Minneapolis Star Tribune, The Austin Statesman American, and dozens of like minded "news organizations" adhering like bondo to the democratic party line.
