#1 This comes as no surprise whatsoever beside perhaps their willingness to admitt to the bias. At least they're ~~honest~~.

#2 And he's right ya know. The MSM has given them a complete pass so far. "Nothing to see here...move along"

#3 Problem is, this is going to have the same stick factor as the "Bush lied" campaign. Even though it's been proven that he didn't, the canard still quacks. In Kerry's case, I don't think it's going to be proven false, though they'll have a string of ad hominem attacks and then they'll say it's been proven false.

#4 I bl3eive that the Kerry camp thinks so - they have good reason to.

Just look at the six oclock news tonight.

Now whats the big news recently? Najaf and Tater removla, also the info pouring out about real and verified threats against US targets.

So what does NBC lead with? Abu Ghraib.

There you have it.

#5 OldSpook, Is NBC still sodomizing that dead horse? You would think the putrid smell would give them a clue..... I see ABC News is also taking a turn....

The problem is, the media *will* cover for them. I would hope the Fox would cover it more and ask pointed questions (and expect answers other then 'well they didn't server under Kerry so they are all lying...' BS).

#6 Fox had a great segment tonight with Brit Hume. He had a retired marine officer on (one of their analyst) and pointedly asked him about the swift boats and if these guys could have served with him. This guy was very clear that they DID serve with him and could have seen what happened. He also pointed out that they probably had a better view of what was happening than anyone on the boat.

Brit also asked about the Cambodia bit to which the marine pretty much made it clear there was very little probability that Kerry had gone into Cambodia.

Great segment overall. Just wish the MSM would be as objective on all this and report the controversy. I stayed up late last night to watch Nightline and wish I had gotten my sleep instead. Complete waste of my time. And they, of course, managed to get in jibes at Bush and Cheney.
