Mary Mapes Still in Denial

This is actually becoming pretty comic. Seriously - check this out:

Mapes says that she was a victim of a new standard in journalism where "the truth doesn't matter" but instead it's "the perception of truth that matters."

She tries to foist fake documents upon the public shortly before the election and she's the victim? Mary Mapes has become a punchline (but then again her jounalistic intregrity was always a joke):

Mapes said that she still believes the documents cited in the "60 Minutes II" broadcast by her boss, Dan Rather, were authentic, saying; "I feel that if they had been forged there would have been a flaw. And I have not been able to find the flaw."

You mean a flaw like this?

What is sad is that instead of acknowledging the truth - people in power are still enabling "jounalists" like Mapes:

She also noted that CBS's own internal investigation "could not prove that the documents were false."
