Mary Mapes On The Story That Ended Her Career: ‘None Of Us Escaped Unscathed’

1marymapes.jpg



e CBS News program 60 Minutes aired a documentary accusing then-President George W. Bush of receiving preferential treatment in the Texas Air National Guard. After the story aired, allegations flew about the authenticity of documents used in the reporting of the story.

The fallout eventually led to the firings of anchor Dan Rather, his producer Mary Mapes, and three others. The movie “Truth” is about that scandal.

It’s based off of a memoir written by Mapes, called Truth and Duty: The Press, the President and the Privilege of Power. The former producer still lives in Dallas, and sat down with KERA's Rick Holter.

We do have freedom of speech here, but we can't yell fire in a crowded movie theater or make up documents to destroy your political enemy. That was gone over pretty well at the time, no movie is going to unfuck Dan Rather.

Plus, Germany and Holocaust denial is a special case, as they have a viable need to combat the rise of Far right parties, which feed off holocaust denial. Call it a Penance for the 6 million Jews they slaughtered.

Any debt (moral or monetary) that was owed by Germany to the Jews as a result of the Holocaust has long been repaid.

Time to move on.

Monetary debt yes, but the laws against Holocaust denial are warranted. One has to remember that the Eastern part of the country only really started dealing with this in the 90's, the Commies blamed the Americans for all of Germany's woes.

Publish a phony story, pay the price. And?
 
Truth is so fleeting when looking for reason to trash others

>> it was later found that CBS had failed to authenticate the documents. Subsequently, several typewriter and typography experts concluded the documents were blatant forgeries<<

Journalist are supposed to do the research before printing/publishing a story. When a journalist uses lies and present it as truth they deserve to loose their jobs.
