“Reality didn’t matter. Right and wrong didn’t matter. Winning was the only thing that mattered to any of the people masterminding the slash-and-burn campaigns”
Mary Mapes, Truth and Duty: The Press, the President, and the Privilege of Power

“I didn’t know that the attack on our story was going to be as effective as a brilliantly run national political campaign, because that is what it was: a political campaign. I didn’t know that we were being bombarded by an army of Bush backers with different divisions, different weapons, and different techniques, but always the same agenda: kill the messenger.”
Mary Mapes, Truth and Duty: The Press, the President, and the Privilege of Power

“To these people, there was no such thing as unbiased mainstream reporting, certainly not when it came to criticism of the president, no matter how tepid. To them, there was FOX News commentary and everything else—and everything else was liberal and unfair.”
Mary Mapes, Truth and Duty: The Press, the President, and the Privilege of Power
