Ousted CBS Producer Comes Out Swinging
By Howard Kurtz
Washington Post Staff Writer
Wednesday, November 9, 2005
After a year of silence about the biggest scandal in CBS News history, Mary Mapes has plenty to say -- about George W. Bush, Karl Rove, Les Moonves, her father, bloggers, the mainstream press and others who she believes contributed to her downfall.
What took her so long?
"I was extremely battered," she said in an interview yesterday. "I'd had months and months of having my head kicked around a soccer stadium by much of the Western world.

It’s Mary Mapes Day in the Blogosphere
By Felix Gillette
NOVEMBER 9, 2005
Mary Mapes, the erstwhile CBS News producer who was fired earlier this year for her role in the botched “60 Minutes II” story on President Bush’s National Guard service, is back in the news this week promoting her new book, Truth and Duty: The Press, the President, and the Privilege of Power. During interviews with ABC’s “Good Morning America” and Washington Post, Mapes has defended her own reporting while criticizing (a) her former employers and (b) the various bloggers who had previously criticized her former employers.
“Perhaps her greatest fury is reserved for the ‘vicious’ bloggers who pounced on the ‘60 Minutes II’ report within hours — and who she believes provided the map that major news organizations, including the Washington Post, essentially followed,” noted Howard Kurtz in an article today in the Post.
“I was attacked, Dan was attacked, CBS was attacked 24 hours a day by people who hid behind screen names,” Mapes told Kurtz. “I may be a flawed journalist, but I put my name on things.”
“Some of the key bloggers, however, posted criticism under their own names,” added Kurtz.
Today, bloggers with and without screen names were jumping at the opportunity to bash Mapes for bashing bloggers for bashing CBS for … okay, enough.
Bring on the bloggers.

STICKING TO HER STORY ; OUSTED ‘60 MIN’ PRODUCER WON’T GIVE UP ; “NO ONE HAS PROVED THAT THE DOCUMENTS WERE NOT AUTHENTIC” ; – MARY MAPES
By Michael Starr November 9, 2005 5:00am
EX-CBS producer Mary Mapes, fired over a controversial “60 Minutes II” story on President Bush’s National Guard service, says she still believes the report was “true” – and accurate.
“No one has proved that the documents were not authentic,” Mapes says on this morning’s “Good Morning America.”
Mapes is breaking her silence to promote her new book, “Truth and Duty: The Press, the President, and the Privilege of Power.”
Mapes and several others, including “60 II” executive producer Josh Howard, were fired after CBS launched an internal investigation into the story – which used unsubstantiated documents pertaining to President Bush’s service in the Texas Air National Guard in the early ’70s.
Dan Rather, who anchored the Sept. ’04 report, retired from his “CBS Evening News” anchor chair last March – while “60 Minutes II” was eventually canned.
Andrew Heyward left as president of CBS News last month.
Mapes tells Brian Ross that CBS chief Les Moonves used the internal investigation as an excuse to get rid of Rather.
“Les Moonves viewed the news department as being kind of an uppity group of folks who thought they worked in news rather than [in] television news,” she says.
“And he wanted them to work in television.”
She says she “did not have it in for George Bush” and says she doesn’t feel responsible for what happened to her colleagues in the scandal’s aftermath.
“If you’re talking about an investigation that basically gutted a news organization, and turned people one against another and made people afraid of each other and really scooted the country’s most experienced anchor out of his chair . . . I didn’t do that,” she says.
“I had absolutely nothing to do with any of that.”
What Mapes doesn’t dispute is the fact that she called a member of John Kerry’s presidential campaign before the “60 II” report aired.
“I wish to God I hadn’t done it, because I think it was so wildly misinterpreted,” she says – adding that she only made the call to curry favor with the source who gave her the disputed documents.
“I don’t think I committed bad journalism. I really don’t,” she says.
Mapes says she’s continuing to investigate the source of the documents.

KIRK: Where is he?
GUARDIAN: He has passed into... what was.
UHURA: Captain, I've lost contact with the ship. I was talking to them. Suddenly, it went dead. No static, just nothing.
KIRK: Kirk to Enterprise. Scotty.
SCOTT: Nothing wrong with the communicator, sir.
GUARDIAN: Your vessel, your beginning, all that you knew is gone.
KIRK: McCoy has somehow changed history.
SCOTT: You mean we're stranded down here?
SPOCK: With no past, no future.
UHURA: Captain, I'm frightened.
KIRK: Earth's not there. At least, not the Earth we know. We're totally alone.
Captain's log, no stardate. For us, time does not exist. McCoy, back somewhere in the past, has effected a change in the course of time. All Earth history has been changed. There is no starship Enterprise. We have only one chance. We have asked the Guardian to show us Earth's history again. Spock and I will go back into time ourselves and attempt to set right what ever it was that McCoy changed.
SPOCK: I was recording images at the time McCoy left. A rather barbaric period in your American history. I believe I can approximate just when to jump. Perhaps within a month of the correct time. A week, if we're fortunate.
KIRK: Make sure we arrive before McCoy got there. It's vital we stop him before he does whatever it was that changed all history. Guardian, if we are successful
GUARDIAN: Then you will be returned. It will be as though none of you had gone.

Subject: Re: Every one that flatters thee
I don't remember when I first read this. But it sure resonates with me. It is even ironic the part about May. If I'm not mistaken, it was May 31 when I gave up my apartment. I want to sit down and try to write out as much of a timeline after that as possible, but I can't remember a lot of the details, although I knew all along that my tormentors knew exactly what I was doing and where I was located every minute of every one of those days. And so in this message below, he is talking basically about how people can talk about being your friend, but it is when the world throws you down into some really dark place, it is your friends that are going to be there with you. And I remember those first 9 days I was starving

(Then he sees the policeman.)
POLICEMAN: Well?
KIRK: You're a police officer. I recognise the traditional accoutrements.
SPOCK: You were saying you'll have no trouble explaining it.
KIRK: My friend is obviously Chinese. I see you've noticed the ears. They're actually easy to explain.
(A crowd is gathering.)
SPOCK: Perhaps the unfortunate accident I had as a child.
KIRK: The unfortunate accident he had as a child. He caught his head in a mechanical rice picker. But fortunately, there was an American missionary living close by who was actually a skilled plastic surgeon in civilian life.
POLICEMAN: All right, all right. Drop those bundles and put your hands on that wall there! Come on!
KIRK: Oh, how careless of your wife to let you go out that way.
POLICEMAN: What? Where?
SPOCK: Oh, yes, it's quite untidy. Here, let me help you.

SPOCK: Captain, I hardly believe that insults are within your prerogative as my commanding officer.

EDITH: Why not?
MCCOY: The only possible answer would conclusively prove that I'm either unconscious or demented. This looks like old Earth around 1920 or 25.
EDITH: Would you care to try for 30?
MCCOY: I am unconscious, or demented.
EDITH: I have a friend that talks about Earth the same way that you do. Would you like to meet him?

On the road again
Well, they are kicking me out this place in a couple weeks so I guess that settles that. Something about me not having the kind of problems a typical resident would have and I have to have the kind of problems they know how to find solutions for.
Maybe tomorrow is the day I get some answers. I still can't understand why no one has responded to me. I always tell people what I know and what I don't know when they ask me a question. With all the weird stuff going on around me these past few years, I can only conclude that they will not respond because they have something to hide.

Mary Mapes Speaks
Aired November 9, 2005 - 21:00 ET
MARY MAPES, FIRED BY CBS NEWS OVER DAN RATHER REPORT: The story?
KING: Yes.
MAPES: I feel that probably what people think they know about this story is wrong, most of what they think they know, and I spent the last year really soul searching what I should do because I guess the easy thing to do would be just to crawl into a cave and say I'm sorry and never mind and not come out and open a small cafe in a little Texas town.
But I don't cook that well and I had to think of something else to do. And I also -- I think there were good lessons in this story for journalists and for Americans.
KING: Are you suing CBS?
MAPES: No, I'm not.
KING: I thought you were going to. I thought I read somewhere that you...
MAPES: Well, I just -- I've been very busy and I haven't done that.
KING: Did they give you proper, I mean were you properly paid?
MAPES: No, I got not one penny after 15 years. I got nothing.
KING: You were just dismissed that day after? Was it after the investigation?
MAPES: It was. I believe it was January 10th. Andrew Hayward called me on a speaker phone and fired me.
KING: In retrospect what would you change?
MAPES: I would speak out during the process because I trusted CBS. I had been with them for 15 years, loved CBS News, still do, love the people there very much, some of whom I know you know. I trusted the corporation to care about me as much as I cared about them and I wanted to do exactly what they wanted me to do and I did and it was dumb.
KING: What would you change about the story?
MAPES: I wouldn't have been so agreeable to put it on, on September 8th, which was too soon but I had never said no before to my bosses.

Quotes
Court-Martial Captain: You took an oath, Mr. Cole. You, too, Mr. Grafton. You took an oath to defend the constitution and obey the orders of the officers appointed over you. It's the same oath that every officer in the navy has taken for damn near 200 years. And during all that time, the military has obeyed the civilian elected government. Now, they might not have always been right, or wise... or even smart, but they were elected. Any other way and the United States would be nothing more than another two-bit military dictatorship.
Admiral: Why did you do this, Cole? An officer with your fine record? Did you think you were going to win the war?
Cole: Frankly, sir, I think we're going to lose this one. But I do love the work.
Court-Martial Captain: Mr. Cole, you may find that amusing, but we don't. Gentlemen, this is our country you're messing with. Well, Mr. Grafton, you have an attentive audience here. Perhaps you can explain to us why you thought a one-plane war was the way to go.

December 9, 1977
THE PRESIDENT. Good afternoon, everybody. Have a seat, please. I apologize for interrupting your meeting. [Laughter]
First of all, I want to thank you for coming to the White House to interview our people and to let me see some old friends. Jody 1 began this program at the beginning of this year over some opposition of mine, because I thought it would be too time-consuming, and I was afraid we couldn't get enough benefit from it and understanding of what we are doing in the White House. This is the 16th meeting we've had so far, more than 450 editors and others from around the country.
1 Jody Powell, Press Secretary to the President.
Jody tells me every State except three-we haven't had anybody yet from Hawaii or Alaska or, just because of scheduling, Vermont--but 20 percent of the newspapers in the United States have had editors here at the White House this year to talk to me personally and to ask questions in an unrestricted way. It's been a very helpful thing for us in telling the American people accurately what we are doing

Otherwise, those B-52's will be dead meat. We can expect a forest of SAMs and flak you can lay down on. We've got to cut a path through for the Air Force. We'll be going in broad daylight with nothing to hide behind. We'll be easy targets up there, gentlemen, but they're counting on us.

He has ordered the U.S. Navy to continue patrolling there, and if they are attacked, to destroy their attackers. [ Title dialog continues: ] President Johnson: I understand the feelings of those who regret that we must undertake air attacks. I share those feelings. [ Title dialog continues: ] Some nights, we're the only airplane going up - going up into the North and when you're thinking you're the only Americans over North Vietnam, it kind of makes you wonder just a little bit, you know. "What am I doing here?"

Quotes
Court-Martial Captain: Mr. Cole, you may find that amusing, but we don't. Gentlemen, this is our country you're messing with. Well, Mr. Grafton, you have an attentive audience here. Perhaps you can explain to us why you thought a one-plane war was the way to go.
Lt. Jake Grafton: Well, sir, we bomb worthless targets night after night - I mean, three tents under a tree... sampan repair yards that have been hit ten times already. Sir, you know the list better than I do. My first bombardier and 50,000 other Americans are dead and... can anyone tell me why? I realize that I'm Lieutenant Nobody. I'm... I'm not really sure about anything anymore. This war's become very confusing. Nobody... nobody wants to fight in it. Nobody seems to want to win it. Maybe it never should have happened, but people do die in it. Maybe for me, it got personal, because I do know the difference between dying for something and dying for nothing. I know that's no excuse. I... I know that. And I broke the faith, and for that, I am truly wrong. Perhaps I should hang.
Court-Martial Captain: Hanging, Mr. Grafton, is no longer a punishment much in use. But a prison term in Leavenworth is, or a dishonorable discharge if a court-martial should so decide. But whatever happens,I think it's safe to say that your career in the navy is over. The only question's how.

213 - Remarks Upon Presenting the Big Brother of the Year Award to the Reverend William F. Graham
May 10, 1966
DR. GRAHAM, when they told me you were going to receive the Big Brother of the Year Award, I recalled some lines from a hymn that I used to sing as a boy. I believe they are appropriate for the occasion today:
"Throw out the life-line across the dark wave,
There is a brother whom someone should save..."
I'm not going to ask you to sing it, but I'm sure you remember the rest of the words.
Few men have thrown out as many lifelines as Billy Graham. They are lifelines of hope, of faith, of guidance, and of spiritual strength. Today, one of those lifelines is coming back--with a word of thanks from a group of very dedicated Americans.
The Good Book tells us that, "Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." In your case, Dr. Graham, it is a rich harvest of satisfaction--and gratitude.
Big Brothers of America are honoring you today for your leadership and influence among the youth of our Nation. I know something about that leadership--and I have seen some of the results of that influence. It is no small thing.
A man's character is molded in his youth. Or, as Wordsworth once wrote: "The child is father of the man."
I do not despair of our youth. I think our young men and women in the Peace Corps, in Vietnam, and in our community action poverty programs, have established themselves as the finest generation in the history of this Nation. But it's reassuring to know there are great men like you who have helped so many of them along the early part of their journey.

Columbia Journalism Review
It’s Mary Mapes Day in the Blogosphere
By Felix Gillette
NOVEMBER 9, 2005
“[I]t’s clear Mapes has decided that book sales are not well served by a simple admission of error or by the ‘fake but accurate’ line advanced by some of her peers,” noted Verum Serum. “No, Mary has decided to go the full monty with this. She still believes it’s all true.”
“That Mapes can still not be bothered to do basic research on this story is astonishing and sad, but also a little funny,” noted Jackie Danicki on jackiedanicki.com. “Or maybe she’s just as outrageously dishonest as so many have always contended.”
“What a difference a year makes, eh Mary Mapes?,” wrote Right Wing Nut House in a post entitled, “Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary.” “Just think … a year ago you were a big shot producer at the ‘Tiffany Network’ of CBS. You had gofers at your beck and call. A nice, fat, expense account. A couple of awards under your belt. The fawning admiration of your colleagues. Dan Rather even said hello to you in the CBS cafeteria. Now, you’re a wreck.”
Not that Mapes was without an occasional defender.
“Mary Mapes was right about what she reported and all she has to do is wait for vindication,” wrote Wylie Post. “Just like Michael Moore, Joe Wilson, Paul O’Neill, General Shinseki and others who have been vindicated, it will eventually be proven that Bush deserted his unit in Texas just like he no-showed in Alabama. It’ll all come out sooner or later.”
But Wylie is in the minority, as most bloggers hammer away at Mapes and the media outlets giving space to her claims — particularly Vanity Fair, which recently published an excerpt from Mapes’ book.
“That Mapes thinks that her own actions were even remotely comparable to the revelation of Watergate proves that she has absolutely no idea what she did wrong,” noted TigerHawk. “That Vanity Fair would print such trash proves that Graydon Carter remains deeply invested in discrediting George W. Bush, regardless of the cost to his own credibility.”
The Red Voice, on the other hand, offered Mapes a potential scoop. “I have, in my possession right now, documents that will prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that Saddam Hussein swallowed the evidence of WMD in little tiny balloons and that Osama bin Laden is, in actuality, Madeline Albright after in-patient Jenny Craig therapy,” wrote the Red Voice. “Seriously. They may or may not be authentic, but apparently that is not of great concern.”
Mapes is, however, inspiring the Red Voice to move ahead on one front: “I was under the mistaken impression that journalism was in trouble in this country,” he and/or she writes. “I wasn’t exactly ready to jump off the roof or anything, but I was concerned. Now I know that I can go ahead and jump off the roof.”
