Even the people CBS hired to evaluate the doucments did nto agree with them, but they ran with the story anyway, IIRC.

Oh brother. Who uttered that pile of excrement? I also notice that the critic didn't mention that the late night amateur (Hi Buckhead!) was exactly correct. I guess the truth isn't important; it's all about the process.

This is a subject that will always remain near and dear to my heart.
Does anyone have the link for the famous thread that contains Buckheads historic POST#47?
I have been searching for it and find everything but that.
If anyone can help it is greatly appreciated, thanks.
JD

Dan, you're 74.
You screwed up big time and left lots of "egg" on CBS's face.
You expect them to arrange a graceful exit for you on your terms?
I repeat, you're 74. It's time to announce your retirement.
THAT is your graceful exit.

Maybe he can get a job with "The Onion".

What's a shame is cBS had a chance to redo and bring credibility their news department, but they hired Katie who is one step up from "Entertainment Tonite".

Good riddens Dan. You should be in prison for treason.

Page Six restates the conservative canard that our report "was found to be based on forged documents." That is just not true, no matter how many times Page Six or the Washington Times or some bitter conservative blogger repeats it.

Such a sad pathetic figure Mapes has become: reduced to pitiful, childish denials on a Huffington blog. Her comments are the equivalent of "nya-nya nya-nya nya-nya, you can't make me listen."

And her invocation of the concept of bitterness has got to be the most pristine example of psychological projection ever committed to paper (er....pixels).

All he has to do is tell them the frequency.

Well played. :O)

How come he is going to do "60 Minutes" reports according to this article?

Just like Christiane Amanpour, CNN feels that Cooper is SO richly talented, they simply must share!

As they say at Black Rock.... and Bugaloosa...

AMF

The day he leaves (cue Dan's tears) all the young chippies will cry too..... and anyone over the age of 32 will be celebrating and closing the bars in the area of West 57th Street and 8th Avenue.

A hard working NY cabbie could make a lot of tips taking drunk and delighted CBS newsies home that night.

Mary offers up a few insights:

60 Minutes Sunday is not only an important news broadcast, it is also something of a comedic cross between a retirement home and a small town high school cheerleading squad. There is a lot of hair tossing and skirt flipping, along with brutal competition and vicious gossiping. The squad members are self-absorbed and self-obsessed. When one girl falls or trips, the others snicker with delight. There have been resentments left simmering for so long in the CBS News offices that they have become part of the furniture.

The comments at Huffington post are about 10-1 praising Mapes as the Joan of Arc of Journalism. It's a psychotic circle jerk.

I thought "psychotic circle jerk" was a term trademarked by DU....

You said it. Closed minded people projecting their own foibles onto conservatives. To wit: "WHY do Republican traitors hate America so much!?".

I truly admire people like you with the fortitude to fight the good fight against such stupidity.
