""Politics is not necessarily the way it was when we all grew up, where you might [lie about] something but you[r fellow demonrats, who ran the media and the country] wouldn't eviscerate someone.""

There, that looks more accurate.

[backhoe]

Pajamahadeen Rule... rise of the New Media

 

[Notwithstanding]

She meant to say:

In the old days, we leftists got to eviscerate any one with traditional mainstream views. If we try that now, those damn bloggers will hold us accountable. Polictics is just no fun now that both sides have a means to get out their message.

[pollyannaish]

Anyone with any experience in computers, typing and/or typography can see that is irrefutable evidence.

Mapes will be upset to find out that she will NEVER match the level of journalistic fraud of the infamous Walter Duranty, the New York Slimes reporter who covered up Stalin's crimes and won the Pulitzer Prize for it.

You are 100 percent right about THAT!

And what does it say about a lying "news" organization like the NYT when even now, after the lies and fraud of Duranty has been public knowledge for years, they refuse to return that Pulitzer Prize, OR - if they had even an iota of class, to donate the Prize to a memorial for the millions of innocent victims of Stalin's genocidal policies.

LOL, pathetic! Moron Mapes is furious that she got caught!!

"She also noted that CBS's own internal investigation could not prove that the documents were false."

Oh so if you can't prove they are false then you just assume they are real. Hello! You have to prove they are real before using them dipstick.

[Chode]

BINGO... now all we need is an email address!!!

[hinckley buzzard]

If she is still yammering about this at this late date, there is something mentally wrong with her. A normal person would have enough dignity, if not shame, to shut up and take her medicine and move on.

[blackie]

Hey Mapes ~~

[Dallas59]

Hey Mary...stop living in the 20th century..

[Enterprise]

The CBS inability to prove that the documents were false has as much credibility as Adolph Eichmann being unable to substantiate the abuse of concentration camp inmates.

[CROSSHIGHWAYMAN]

How these liberals hate the truth!

So much like fanatic Muslims...they are!

[Don@VB]

She also noted that CBS's own internal investigation "could not prove that the documents were false."


Its not our job to prove the documents are false its her job to prove they are authentic.

Mapes says that she was a victim of a new standard in journalism where "the truth doesn't matter"

My irony meter is pegged.

[Notwithstanding]

Mary still can't find he flaw.

And on a similar note, my 2-year old sometimes gets confused as to whether or not his diaper contains a poo.

In both cases I am convinced they know the real answer but shame or embarassment causes them to lie.

[steve-b]

Not exactly. If a student produces a fake report card with all As, it would still be considered a "forgery" even though the real report card has (presumably) different grades.

In this case, then Lt. Bush presumably had various real memoranda typed up concerning his performance, with different content.

"If the documents are not what we were led to believe, I'd like to break that story."

[Steely Tom]

"If the documents are not what we were led to believe, I'd like to break that story."

[Panzerlied]

""I feel that if they had been forged there would have been a flaw. And I have not been able to find the flaw."

Which is why you and Danny Boy are history.
