[Political Junkie Too]

It's a reply to yesterday's story:

ROSS: This seems remarkable to me that you would sit here now and say you still find that story to be up to your standards.

MAPES: I'm perfectly willing to believe those documents are forgeries if there's proof that I haven't seen.

ROSS: But isn't it the other way around? Don't you have to prove they're authentic?

MAPES: Well, I think that's what critics of the story would say. I know more now than I did then, and I think -- I think -- they have not been proved to be false yet.

ROSS: Have they proved to be authentic, though? Isn't that really what journalists do?

MAPES: No, I don't think that's the standard.

Jane, you ignorant slut....

Mapes epitomizes what I see is so evil about the MSM....
I cant stand watching NBC, CBS and/or ABC - never mind CNN & MSNBC.

One thing we've learned from Mapes is the level of 'journistic standards.'

Game. Set. Match. Contest over. Sometimes it is just so easy to lead barking moonbats to say the stupidest things. LOL

That is the damdest comment! You propound a document, you have to authenticate it.

If I say there is a Barbie Doll on the moon, my doubters are not obliged to prove that isn't true.
