Mapes Subject of Fake Report?

• Views: 1,271

There’s a report going around that Mary Mapes will be rejoining her partner in attempted crime, Dan Rather, to produce news shows for HDNet. But Mapes says the report is a hoax. Just like her National Guard memos.

If you read Radar this morning - and hopefully you read it this morning, since the site has been intermittent all afternoon - you’d have learned that Mary Mapes, disgraced producer to former CBS anchor Dan Rather, would be joining her old boss at HDNet, Mark Cuban’s new high-def news channel. Just one problem, according to the New York Observer:

Reached Tuesday afternoon at her Dallas home, Ms. Mapes said she was not joining HDNet, had never spoken to a Radar reporter and had never heard of Radar Online. “It’s not true,” she said, “and I’m entirely puzzled by the quotes they have from me. No one’s talked to me. I didn’t say that.”

The story appeared in the Fresh Intelligence section of Radar Online. “They totally made it up,” Ms. Mapes. “It’s hilarious.”

However, Radar’s editor is sticking to the story: Mary Mapes Was Going To Work for Dan Rather, Has Too Heard of Radar.
