Over the years I watched quite a few Dan Rather reports and tended to largely believe them, including his reports some years ago about WMD-guarding problems in Russia.

Now I don’t know what to think about all that stuff. But Dan Rather’s CBS News propaganda cult still delenda est.

If a judge or prosecutor is convicted of doing something rotten in judging or prosecuting, then their old cases get questioned.

What about all the reports done by Dan Rather and Mary Mapes? Why has CBS failed to set up an investigation of previous reports? Instead of trying to clean up their record, they just want people to forget it.

I offered some friendly advice to Mapes here:

I’m placing it next to a brick from the Berlin Wall.

You’ll need another copy to place along side OJ’s tome.

I tuned in to CNN’s Reliable Sources to see what I believed would be an exchange between Mary Mapes and Scott Johnson of Powerline. Instead, Howard Kurtz gave the first two segments to Mapes. Then in the third segment, He brought on Scott Johnson AND Eric Boehlert of Huffington’s Post. CNN’s idea of fairness: two against one.

Chris Muir, as usual, has a great take on this:

Mapes seems to suffer from a toxic combination of mental illness and bitter cynicism.

And now for some wishful thinking–there can’t possibly be 59,000,000 Americans like her.

tefta is not too far off. former speaker of the house wrote an idiotic book that was required reading for union members. a great way to funnel money to wright by them buying his book.
