No one has proven that the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, either.

The documents were authentic computer representations of memos that were supposed to have been 35 years ago, using microsoft word, that was invented less than 20 years ago. Nobody proved that the documents were fraudlent? Bullship. I'll bet mary mapes $ 100,000 cash up front, that the documents were not typed in the 60's and 70's and therefore were fraudulent.

"no one has proved that the documents were not authentic."...
Actually, they HAVE!! That's the reason she was FIRED!!!! When you say documents are from the 1970s and they can be shown to be word processed in Microsoft Word, a type that was NOT AROUND in the 70s...they are NOT AUTHENTIC!!

---Mapes says she is continuing to investigate the source of the controversial documents whose authenticity was seriously questioned by the CBS panel.---
Then she will help OJ search for the real killers.

Yeah I know.
I was here then.
But I understand your frustration with these LSM idiots.

"no one has proved that the documents were not authentic."...The modern liberal - demanding that others prove a negative, rather than vetting their own work.

It's either that or we both know BS when we see it.

"no one has proved that the documents were not authentic."... Simply amazing. According to the Dinosaur media, it is now incumbent upon the public to prove a negative.
To: frankjr
"She tells Ross that she had no journalistic obligation to prove the authenticity of the documents before including them in the "60 Minutes II" report" Does Mapes even understand the meaning of "slander", or "libel"?
Does she think networks are allowed to air lies?
The woman is dangerous....dangerous and deep in denial.

She had no journalistic obligation to prove the authenticity of the documents - I am just guessing here but she may want to leave that off of her resume.
To: frankjr
ABC may have stumbled on a winning formula here. Unfortunately, I doubt they will follow it up with at least a weekly "Moonbat Interview" segment. They could do segments with Rangel, Durbin, Reid, Dean and plenty of others that would approach the standard established by Mapes.

In today's modern society we have technology that can tell the probability of forgery or not but Mapes is claiming that todays journalist have no obligation to use the technology, especially when they have an agenda. The modern media didn't get their way in the last election so now they will browbeat us with everything from oil to Libby and I'm really getting sick of it. They're still trying to play the game after places like FR has already claimed checkmate.
