I have not seen this level of Chutzpah since that guy a couple of years ago that claimed the Holocaust never happened.
Initially, I thought her stance was a way to sell books. After all, if she admitted screwing up, no one would want to book her on the TV talk show circuit. No controversy.
But after seeing her on O'Reilly, I think she really and truly believes this nonsense. As does much of the MSM. Which is why they keep repeating these kind of errors - their standards have gradually drifted so far away from old-school journalism that they are oblivious to the shift and treat whacked-out views like Mapes' as mainstream.
