The article fails to address the central question of whether or not the evidence was forged and simply asserts that the Dan Rather/Mapes story was true.
That in itself expresses the state of journalism

Taken down by FR.
Wonder if that gets a “Truthful” mention ?

Looks like the classic rehab effort by the “Media Establishment” to help poor Dan move on past his narcissistic decade of humility...

Remember Oliver Stone's JFK? I was 13 when Kennedy was assassinated, I remember those days and events. I also remember Jim Garrison's irresponsible witch hunt in New Orleans. Hearing young people, at the time, taking Stone's delusion drivel seriously was a lesson to me in how effective even the most silly and concocted propaganda can be effective.
To: Gaffer
Add to not in the cast the mysterious Lucy Ramirez, the woman who Rather said gave him the documents. CBS, CNN and the Washington Post couldn’t prove that she ever existed.

All I want to know: Is Free Republic in the movie??? Won't that be like a Soviet propaganda film featuring Robert Conquest's Harvest of Sorrow?
To: Hillarys Gate Cult
CBS, CNN and the Washington Post couldn’t prove that [Lucy Ramirez] ever existed. She was using a pseudonym. Her real name was Mary Mapes.

We are now at the period where it is in vogue to trash any and everything Bush, especially George W. Bush. If rehabbing Dan Rather helps their cause, he will be rehabbed. Maybe even canonized.

They want us to watch it just to find out that we’re not. I’m not biting.

Sheesh...has someone got a wooden stake or a silver bullet handy?

This is this the same Dan Rather that volunteered to go visit Mr. Zapruder’s house, knock on the door, push him out of the way when the door opened and take the assassination film for CBS, right?

Hail to “Buckhead” and others !

Personally, I find the quixotic spectacle of Rather-errant and his squiress Mapes at large among their own kind sort of amusing. Like ufologists, they add a touch of crackpot spice to public life. Admittedly, the broth of American life in the early Twenty-first century may be more than a little overly spice.
To: Lonesome in Massachussets
"In the film Rather and Mapes are depicted as crusading journalists whose story is attacked by critics with a political agenda." Political agenda: The Truth
(BTW, Redford is as big an @-hole as Rather. He's now on the "Jane Fonda No-Watch List")
To: Lonesome in Massachussets
Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
Buckhead nailed it.

Well, I didn’t really plan on seeing it. And with Redford’s name attached to it? Oh, brother!

The depth and frequency of liberal self-delusion should never be underestimated.
