Unbelievable, November 10, 2005
Reviewer: aniro (us) - See all my reviews
I read most of this today, but fortunately didnt have to buy it. And then I watched her today on the morning shows and this evening on CNN. This woman--who has been a "journalist" for twenty years--actually believes that the forged Bush documents are true because they have not been disproved!Unbelievable. I am not a Bush-partisan, but this type of self-analysis by ms Mapes really raises questions of what else in her twenty year career meets her same standards. What was her publisher thinking when he decided to publish this rationale? Please dont buy this book--so that the publisher gets the message that this is fiction, not non-fiction. Unbelievable.

Reviewer: soccermom (Missouri) - See all my reviews Don't waste your money. Mapes still defends CBS and blames bloggers who outed the forged document. She lives in an alternative universe. Wouldn't it be wonderful if the press took responsibility for their errors?

A Kid's Review
According to Mary Mapes, documents are authentic until proven otherwise. Using this twisted notion, until Mary Mapes can prove the document indicating that she is a habitual shoplifter, is not authentic, then she is a shoplifter. Nice one Mary.

Mapes dissing Freepers in her new book:

November 09, 2005 Mary Mapes Names Names ("Anonymous" Ones) Posted by Bill An excerpt from page 201 of her new book: Within minutes of Buckhead's original posting, Freepers began to repeat and embellish Buckhead's thoughts. Not surprisingly, they all agreed with him, they all agreed with one another, and they all agreed this should be pursued aggressively. Freethinkers they are not.....
