Mary Mapes Can't Handle the Truth in 'Truth' Trailer

"You Can't Handle the Truth!!!" ---A Few Good Men.

Apparently former CBS producer Mary Mapes can't handle the truth at least according to her portrayal by actress Cate Blanchett in the newly released movie trailer for the upcoming fictional movie "Truth." I say fictional because Mapes in the film somehow maintains the truth of her story about George W. Bush getting favorable treatment in the Texas Air National Guard based on documents that were proven to be forgeries.

The TRUTH that her documents were forgeries does not matter to Mary Mapes. All that counts is the fiction of her "Truth."

I would love to hear Trump announce that one of his first actions as President would be to demand that Occidental, Columbia and Harvard to release all records they have on Obama.

If they refuse to do so, all federal funding would be withheld from those universities, and their deans would be imprisoned for contempt.

Call the movie “Truth” then lie away. Liberalism is a disease.

It fits the liberal narrative, therefore it is true. Period.

“progressives” believe that:

1. Truth is whatever serves the Party.
2. If you repeat something often enough, it becomes true (i.e., “global warming”.)
3. It’s OK to lie in pursuit of “progressive ideals.”

Remember what Mapes’s former boss, Dan Rather, told O’Reilly on “The O’Reilly Factor”:

“I believe you can be considered an honest person and lie about any number of things.”

(Rather was still on CBS News at the time.)

A forged document implies the existence of an original document. The documents used in 60 Minutes as was pointed out by a FREEPER were fabricated.

That would be sweet. Fight fire with fire and drive them in the ground.

I don’t think that Harvard with its thirty billion dollar endowment relies very heavily on federal funding...

Over $600 million. Using your own money is for chumps.

Actually, I suspect they receive plenty of funding from the feds, funding for social and scientific research I’d guess.

Ironically, "Pravda" is Russian for "Truth."

For most of the world the novel, “1984” is a warning about the dangers of totalitarian government; for the left, it’s an instruction manual.

Does he reveal the frequency? I'd pay to see Redford get beat up, even if it's fake.
