The Fair Minded MSM

I read this bit of an interview with Mary Mapes from Good Morning America in shock:

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."

What can you say? Journalists should not, in Mapes' opinion, be required to prove the authenticity of a story before they go with it. Is there any level that the MSM will not stoop to in order to discredit this administration. Here is an open confession that the facts don't really matter nearly as much as the impact that the claims will have. Incredible.
