Unbelievable. A producer is fired for cutting into CSI to announce Arafats latest death and is fired, but it's OK to try to influence the election with presentation of forged documents. Evil or Very Mad

I guess they don't think that the pigs death is news enough to distract their audience from the sop opera illusions they prefer to feed folks Razz

LOL! I have to laugh, my husband was just complaining about this yesterday, that he missed the last 10 minutes of CSI because they broke in.

Would God that the axed "senior producer" were Mary Mapes.

Ya know what's truely pathetic? CBS probably got 2-3 times the number of complaints about cutting away from CSI than they did about the forgeries!

Sad...... Rolling Eyes

If they fired him for that then they should have fired Rather. What Rather did was far worse. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr..................... Twisted Evil

Considering that they fired someone over this whole issue kinda restores ones faith in what America thinks is more important.

I thought that was pretty funny. CBS got a lot of complaints about interrupting CSI to announce Arafat's death. It was certainly inappropriate to interrupt regular programming to announce the death of a known terrorist.
