If Mary Mapes and Dan Rather were honest they would have stuck by the story - AND the documents. They did neither. 1st commandment of pathological liars: When confronted with the truth, deny everything and attack your accusers.

And the weird part is she seemed SHOCKED that we all took an interest in FINDING OUT THE TRUTH.

"This Mapes woman is exceptionally stupid. How did she ever get a job with even CBS?"This was a rhetorical question, right? I think it is a requirement.

I have been searching for the original live thread of that show--does anyone have it bookmarked? Any luck in finding the thread? I would love to confront Mary Mapes with the truth again by clarifying the record on when the documents were first analyzed as fraudulent.

Too bad, Mary.
Our side still has Buckhead.....your side has the "retired" F-E-A-head.

Funny. That's the way I've felt about TV in general and news casts specifically for about the last twenty years...

nothing beyond a cursory and politically motivated examination of the typeface If a cursory examination of the typeface can pull down your whole story, it must have had a pretty flimsy foundation, no? Stupid is as stupid reports, I guess.

What a bunch of crap, she would leave us all to believe that nothing short of a conspiracy had taken place when they were discredited such a short time of the airing.
Seems implausible to them that ordinary citizens are smarter then them.
These pompous fools are still in denial, must have been Karl Rove behind it eh?

Within a few minutes, I was online visiting Web sites I had never heard of before: Free Republic, Little Green Footballs, Power Line. And in a single sentence, Mapes reveals her hermetically-sealed ignorance of anything outside the perimeter of Liberal Land.

Mapes, whining about how she and her buddy Dan Ratherbiased were caught by conservative thinkers on the 'net said:
"All these Web sites had extensive write-ups on the documents: on typeface, font style, and peripheral spacing, material that seemed to spring up overnight. It was phenomenal. It had taken our analysts hours of careful work to make comparisons. It seemed that these analysts or commentators---or whatever they were---were coming up with long treatises in minutes. They were all linking to one another, creating an echo chamber of outraged agreement."
Yes, Mary, amazing, isn't it--your lies were immediately detected and those finding them now have a forum to have their voices heard. The Old Media world is crumbling, Mary...you and your liberal hack friends now are going to be more accountable for your propaganda.
Sweet, isn't it?

Dear Mary,
F-E-A better describes how we feel about cBS News.
Your days are over as effective promoters of the Democratic Party.
Man, some people never learn.....The reason you are losing money is people are turning away. Tell Danno you and him are largely to blame for that.
Of course, you think Journalism should not be bound by any rules but your own. Wrong, you are Entertainment, a commercial enterprise, not PBS.
Ooops, perhaps Bill Moyers might disagree. (snicker)
You are a Dinosaur...get over it.

SWEEEET!
Actually, anybody who followed closely notes that the first suspicions were raised here on FR because of what was visible on TV, the fact that the documents were proportionally spaced and appeared to be in a modern font. I dont even think that was Buckhead, it was someone else. And those idiots dont realize that East coast freepers were watching and posting before it showed on the west coast. Mapes is an idiot..
It actually took a few days for the lengthy rebuttals to be posted on the internet. These morons are playing up a conspiracy, oh, how could they have figured it out SOOO fast, when it took our experts HOURS to be wrong? Bunch of Liars...

(It was a village of idiots that raised Hillary to Senator status.)
To: RatherBiased.com
There was no analysis of what the documents actually said, no work done to look at the content, no comparison with the official record, no phone calls made to check the facts of the story, nothing beyond a cursory and politically motivated examination of the typeface. That was all they had to attack, but that was enough.
WOW....this is what the talking points were with the democrats after the criticism arose....."Doesn't matter whether they are forgeries, what really matter is whether they are true or not"....
Think about it, a so called news organization admits, that facts be damned,...the end justifies the means....
Truly scary stuff....IMHO
