The Fall Gal

Jonathan V. Last, in a post titled “Mapegoat!”, suggests that CBS is setting up producer Mary Mapes to take the fall for Dan Rather.

Meanwhile, Daniel Wiener writes that it would be “a brilliant political move” for Bush officials to keep pressing for CBS News correspondent Bob Schieffer removal as the moderator for the final (Oct. 13th) presidential debate, “simultaneously skewering CBS and the Kerry campaign.”
