Richard, Richard Richard...

You're wasting your time checking the facts?? Don't you know that you're
just sposed to believe anything the media says these days?

Mary Mapes says it best...


> From an ABC interview with Brian Ross



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."



WOW.... 


:)
