Heads Finally Roll At SeeBS

Asked to resign were Senior Vice President Betsy West, who supervised CBS News primetime programs; 60 Minutes Wednesday Executive Producer Josh Howard; and Howard's deputy, Senior Broadcast Producer Mary Murphy. The producer of the piece, Mary Mapes, was terminated.

Dan blather should have been fired as well, but at least they got rid of Mapes.

While the panel found that some actions taken by CBS News encouraged such suspicions, the Panel cannot conclude that a political agenda at 60 Minutes Wednesday drove either the timing of the airing of the segment or its content."

Now that's a bunch a crap. It's blatantly obvious that there was a political agenda behind both the timing and the content.

The good folks over at ratherbiased.com have the best wrap-up.
