Les Moonves “Doesn’t Know Journalism From Dirt Farming,” Mary Mapes Says

When it comes to CBS president Les Moonves, Mary Mapes doesn’t mince words. “He doesn’t know journalism from dirt farming,” she tells Howard Kurtz.

“In the book, noting that Moonves courted and then married Early Show anchor Julie Chen, she writes: ‘I used to say everything Les knows about journalism had been sexually transmitted. Now I know even that hasn’t taught him much.'”
