CBS distances itself from Mary Mapes
From this morning's online edition of the New York Times (smart move, CBS, but it may be a case of too little, too late...):
"It is obviously against CBS News standards and those of every other reputable news organization to be associated with any political agenda," the network said in a statement.
The rebuke of the producer, Mary Mapes, also broadcast last night on "The CBS Evening News," served to underscore the change in Ms. Mapes's status in the last week.
