Well, Mary Mapes comments concerning her dismissal from CBS are full of factual holes and omissions of fact. There's enough out there in the blogosphere analyzing her response point by point. I don't think I could add much. My favorite part? Read the following quote:
"I am heartened to see that the panel found no political bias on my part, as indeed I have none."
One of my contentions about the mainstream media has always been that: (1) they're overwhelmingly liberal, and (2) they consider their political/cultural leanings to be ' we're-all-middle-of-the-road-and-that's-how-most-of-America-thinks-too' perspective. How could a journalist like Mapes make a statement like that and expect anyone to believe it? I think she does, because she believes it.
