Ya got a link for that court case?!
I went back and read this story again and this sentence really struck me....
"Mapes writes that she had felt the Guard segment was a big success after airing on Sept. 8, 2004, until the following morning at 11 a.m. when she learned that a bunch of "far-right" Web sites were claiming that documents were forged."
Big success? Is that what the press is supposed to do? Air stories that are big successes? Meaning what? That it would ruin George W. Bush's chance of re-election? Isn't the press supposed to report the true facts and let the people decide? What made her think it was a big success? How did she know so soon that it was a big success? Was it because it was all over the liberal MSM? She and Dan Blather really were trying to bring down this president. They are the slime balls. The so called MSM scares the hell out of me. Even Fox News has gone bad. Who can you trust anymore?
Very well put. Mapes gives away the game. The segment was exactly the kind of campaign ploy of which she later accused the right. A classic case of projection.
So is the more Shilling for Socialists via Timmy Russert's (Go Bills) wife at Vanity Fair. That rag seems to be working overtime to salvage every chronically lying liberal around--Mapes--Wilson, etc.
The sun is coming down on the entire ward of liberals. ..better have plenty of meds ready.
AuH20......it was my first real political campaign...as a teenager..
"If I was an idiot, it was for believing in a free press that is able to do its job without fear or favor."
TRANSLATED: SHE'S ANGRY BECAUSE THE MSM CAN NO LONGER LIE ABOUT REPUBLICANS AND GET AWAY WITH IT.
...I didn't know that the attack on our story was going to be as effective as a brilliantly run national political campaign, because that is what it was: a political campaign."
TRANSLATED: SHE'S ANGRY BECAUSE OUR SIDE CAN NOW RUN A COUNTER POLITICAL CAMPAIGN TO HER'S, RATHER'S AND THE MSM'S.
You mean like Joe Wilson?
Why, thanks for setting m atraight, Chronic-loser.
Try to get that through your skull, you right wing Neanderthal, bible screeching, having sex with your guns, homophobic, not caring for the poor, McCarthyite.... REPUBLICAN, you!
You left out "capitalist/imperialist running dog".
Have a nice day!
"Easily dismissed" is an appropriate characterization. All it took was one glance to see that they could not be what they were purported to be.
Afterwards, there was careful study, but only for the sake of the argument.
Hear! Hear! You nailed it. . .very well said!
Think of the Soviet rewrites of history for their own "masses".
Mapes--you liberal, lying, POS. YOU can be easily dismissed. There are slightly more than half of voting Americans who pine for truth and you can't deliver because your phony idealogy can't support the truth.
OK, I'll give her one.
Was a teen myself...too young to vote. I have a bottle of "Goldwater" cologne somewhere as well.
Thank you, thank you. :)
I can easily imagine him in a park wearing a trenchcoat and carrying a bag of candy---"Hey, come here little boy...."
The 60 Minutes stopwatch has hit 0 for Mary Mapes.
Speaking of "answering her critics," that researcher would be who? And those "other documents" are available for viewing where?
