Rathergate profiteers
Admit it, you just knew this was coming. Mary Mapes, the CBS News producer fired over "Memogate," has reached a deal to tell her side of the controversial story that effectively ended the career of Dan Rather and sent morale into a tailspin at the venerable news organization.
St. Martin's Press has agreed to pay in the high six figures to publish a book by Ms. Mapes tentatively titled The Other Side of the Story.
The high six figures——that means nearly a million dollars! Does this mean a soon to be a minor made for tv movie can't be far behind?
Oh those liberals——nothing like profiting from deceit.
