Ms Mapes In The Land Of Make-Believe

I happened to hear this clip of Mary Mapes defending the forged CBS documents today on the way home from work.

BRIAN ROSS: Do you still think that story was true?

MARY MAPES: The story, absolutely.

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 that those documents were forgeries if there was proof that I haven’t seen.

ROSS: But isn’t it the other way around, don’t you have to prove they are authentic?

MAPES: Well, I think that’s what critics of this 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.

Incredible to me that in her mind 1) the journalistic standard is as SHE asserts and 2) that she thinks the evidence still supports CBS' allegations. I also hear that OJ is still looking for the "Real Killers".
