Readers may have noticed that the feature, Items From the Kerry Spot has been missing lately. The Kerry Spot is still a good resource for this blog, but lately it has become the Rather Spot. So, we will continue to watch the Kerry Spot and report to you any interesting items.
Speaking of Rathergate, there are some interesting things to report. Mary Mapes, producer of the story, made a deal with Bill Burkett, the now discredited source of the documents, to facilitate contact between Kerry campaign officials and Burkett.
While using forged documents is bad, this is a complete breach of any kind of journalistic ethics. Mapes should be dismissed for this alone. It also demonstrates how people with an agenda will do anything for a story and that CBS does have a liberal and anti Bush bias.
In a related story, Bill Burkett is planning on suing CBS News for libel. Good luck with that one.
From My Way News - Producer in Hot Water
After looking at some other sources, it looks like today will be a slow news day.
More later
