"It dawned on me that I was present at the birth of a political jihad."

Mary obviously hasn't read the mission statement or rules of conduct that were established by the founder of FreeRepublic and are monitored constantly by members who hold Jim's trust. Oh but that the media had to maintain the rules of decorum we do and bear the scrutiny of not only administrative monitors, but thousands of brilliant Freepers who won't allow inaccuracies to prevail uncontested. Ms. Mapes could learn a great deal from the internal system of checks and balances that are present and functioning on FreeRepublic, but pathetically absent in the main stream media.

I guess Ms. Mapes is awaiting an apology from FreeRepublic for pursuing and exposing the truth?

This was not always true. After the liberal FRAUDcasters took over the Old Media in the wake of watergate, it became more and more the norm.
