I have to agree with his thesis - can investigative reporting have a future if you aren't allowed little mistakes like airing a story with a bunch of false evidence?

Interestingly, Mapes does have an authentic 1972-era hairdo.

Hey, let's not forget that Jesus wore sandals, too.

Another mistake: The title of this article refers to "Martha Mapes."

Who edits this rag? The teaser (or whatever the journalistically-correct term is) includes the following line: "Is her sin really worthy of a scandal?"

Huh?

I think it's a Lifetime network in-house publication.

A woman's fashion taste often freezes the day she has her first orgasm. Or in Mapes' case, the last.

Who would ever admit to having slept with her?

What DID Donald Trump ever see in this Mary Maples, anyway?

Is she scottish?

In that picture she looks uncannily like the progeny of one of those (very) lonely highland shepherds. And I don't just mean the sheep-like vapid stare.
