CBS memos: New wave of tut-tuttery
Yeah yeah the SCLM suck. This is news?. The latest:
And what did Mapes do? She gave Bartlett ("with friends like these") a number in the Kerry campaign. Some left wing conspiracym, huh? When the conspirators don't even have each other's phone numbers?
What kind of world are these people living in? I mean, does anyone believe that Roger Ailes, of FUX News, doesn't have Unka Karl's number by heart?
And I seem to remember when George Will didn't just hand out a number—he helped Reagan practice for a presidential debate! IOKIYAR!
So, big fuckin' deal. Snort!
"There's clearly a conflict of interest when [Mapes] plays both the role of the journalist and the role of an intermediary between a source and somebody in a political campaign," said Bob Steele, a professor of journalism ethics at the Poynter Institute in St. Petersburg, Fla.
