"Well, if the facts are true, it doesn't matter if the messenger is Stalin or Mao himself."That is exactly the defense that Dan Blather used during the flap about the forged documents relating to Bush's Texas Air National Guard service. Remember? Rather said that as long as the "facts" were true about Bush getting special treatment in the Texas Air National Guard, it didn't matter that the facts were recorded on documents that were not authentic. The problem with that line of thinking is that it blurs the distinction between "fact" and "truth". A "fact" is something that no one can dispute, such as the rising of the sun in the east and setting in the west. "Truth" is a matter of interpretation and belief and depends heavily on who is doing the interpretation. That defense didn't help Mary Mapes and it didn't help Blather, either. |
