KVI Talk radio talking about the Producer of 60 Min II. Mary Mapes (sp) Her father is being interviews right now. He is ashamed of her.
I think in military terms, she procured the documents. Perhaps she even sent out an RFQ or RFP prior to procurement.
Go to http://www.570kvi.com - you can pick it up on streaming audio over the internet.
You are welcome!
Mary Mapes response was, Well they have a favorable view of President Bush.
At one point I was going to suggest that it was probably a woman who forged these documents due to the number of technical mistakes... but then I thought better of it and I probably shouldn't.
Here's some on Ms. Roberson from The Daily Iowan per Google.
Dana Roberson launched her career in broadcast journalism in the fax room, but the UI alumna's persistence paid off when she found herself alone in the CBS newsroom as news of the Tiananmen Square massacre broke.
She aided anchorman Dan Rather, bringing the latest news from Beijing and impressing him enough that she was promoted.
Almost 14 years later, Roberson, an associate producer for "60 Minutes II," said her career has mutated into a totally different realm; however, many things remain constant.
Roberson revisited the UI over the weekend to speak at the School of Journalism and Mass Communication's Fourth Estate Banquet and a luncheon celebrating the 10th anniversary of the UI student chapter of the National Association of Black Journalists.
"CBS is still homogenized," said Roberson, who is black. "But they're filtering in now because they realize the nation is more diverse."
Roberson's job entails conducting interviews, and directing and piecing stories together, and it has allowed her to cover such events as the dragging death of a black man in Jasper, Texas, the World Trade Center attacks, and the demise of the Taliban in Afghanistan.
In a panel discussion with black-journalist association members, the Flint, Mich., native recalled her emotionally charged jailhouse interview with one of the men convicted of dragging James Byrd Jr., during which he repeatedly used "the N-word." Despite concerns from many of her peers, Roberson said she advocated broadcasting his harsh language without censorship in order to show viewers his true nature.
Roberson started her career by moving to New York City on a whim after graduating from the UI in 1987 with a bachelor's degree in journalism. There, she accepted a position as a secretary at an advertising firm while searching for a media job, which she landed a year later after befriending a CBS employee at her local fitness club.
Since then, she has received two American Women in Radio and Television awards, a National Association of Black Journalists honor, and an Emmy nomination.
I think the 'goodest' is yet to come!
goin for coffee, this is gonna be a loooooooooooong read.
Tremendous!!! Let's see if she is on the payroll of Moveon.org just to complete the picture!
Is she a "guy"?
I'm picturing Sean Hannity right now sharpening his knife to gut this witch.
The house of cards is a coming down!
Mapes: feminazi propagandist
Kelly: forged memo in a dress
A delicious late-night snack. Thank you Mr. Gannon.
