Broadcasting & Cable mag confides: "The buzz inside the network is that Wednesday's edition got a reprieve last spring with its exclusive report on the abuse of Iraqi prisoners by U.S. soldiers at the Abu Ghraib prison. That piece was produced by Mary Mapes — the prime mover behind the notorious Bush/National Guard story. Now it could turn out that the same producer who saved '60 Junior' from the executioner’s axe helped put the show back on the chopping block."
