Network Error - New York Times

Mary Mapes, the CBS News producer fired over the "forged documents" scandal is taken over the coals by Jonathan Alter critiquing her book about the mess. (I find it deplorable that bad actors like Mapes try to turn their bad decisions into a money-making opportunity.) When will creative big-ego media people and journalists realize the world does not revolve around them?

In his critique Alter fails to examine the liberal anti-Bush bias that was the primal impetus for CBS action in the first place. It is telling that Mapes own father publicly accused his daughter of that bias.
