You can draw your own conclusions from
this interview that Mary Mapes -- the CBS producer fired for her role in the airing of the Sept. 2004 "60 Minutes II" piece on George Bush's service record -- gave to The Washington Post. (For my money, her willingness to toss around allegations and insults like they were feathers makes me more suspicious of her.) But whatever you think, she has a way with words.
Here's a memorable nugget about CBS chairman Les Moonves:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
She is disdainful of Moonves, the CBS president who ordered the outside investigation. "He doesn't know journalism from dirt farming," Mapes said. In the book, noting that Moonves courted and then married "Early Show" anchor Julie Chen, she writes: "I used to say everything Les knows about journalism had been sexually transmitted. Now I know even that hasn't taught him much."
