Here’s the post Tim Blair thinks proves I’m a liar when I say CBS News didn’t know the documents were false:

The post is about producer Mary Mapes. Tim quotes these words:

Rather’s producer, Mary Mapes, knew all along that the premise of the report was false.

And he insinuates that this shows Mapes deliberately promoted documents she knew were fake.

But that’s not at all what the quote is really about. The article I posted about, by Bernard Goldberg, points out that the investigation showed that Mary Mapes was informed by several people prior to the 60 Minutes broadcast that GW Bush had volunteered for Vietnam.

Neither my post nor the article I linked makes any claim that Mapes knew the documents were frauds. But I did ask that question:

It does raise an interesting question, though: since Mapes was apparently willing to cover up what she knew about Bush volunteering for Vietnam, did she also know all along that the documents were frauds? Most people have assumed that Mapes and CBS were tricked into airing the memos — but what if it was deliberate?

So now, because I asked a pretty obvious question before any facts were known about the origin of the documents, I’m supposed to be “lying” when I say CBS didn’t know they were frauds.
