I just don't think there's an appearance of impropriety at all here, and I assume that the other side is chatting with journalists all the time. How else do you explain CNN's craven state? They're journalists, not judges. Their stock in trade is making connections.

You wrote that you had a problem with the "kind" of stories Vlasto produced. Now you say that it's the number. Either way, I believe one is enough. I would hope that journalistic integrity is not a "fool me once, shame on me" proposition.

I'm sorry to be unclear. I also have a problem with the story Mapes produced. Specifically, I understand that it was inaccurate, in that they relied on documents which now appear to have been forged.
Since this is, apparently, the first time that Mapes has been gulled, I construe it as a mis-step. Since Vlasto has an appetite for such stories, I consider his integrity suspect.
