The Mary Mapes School of Journalism at AP

Last week's big AP news story with video proving the "storm could breach levees" has now been corrected by the AP. No doubt with little fanfare by the rest of media.

Okay, we know that CBS news lost whatever credibility they had left with Rathergate. Now it seems the former staffers for 60 Minutes II are now "Maping" news stories elsewhere.

Wizbang blog found a connection between the Rathergate/Mapes fraud and the AP story By MARGARET EBRAHIM and JOHN SOLOMON.

It seems that Margaret is a former -- wait for it -- CBS News producer for, you guessed it, 60 Minutes II! But then, you knew that was coming didn't you?

AP used to be a news organization with actual reporting standards. Editors without a political grudge to bear. I've heard that trees die from the top down so we really need to blame the management for letting the public trust down so badly and so often.

Shame on the AP for causing so much fuss about nothing when so many other important events are going on. Once again, the blogs are showing that you can't get away with this stuff anymore.
