CNN is complaining that 21 days of the swiftboat thing has been going on but the MSM has yet to really cover the allegations with ANY balance. Article after article you read, "veterans against Kerry backed by Bush" WHERES THE PROOF!, "Veterans against Kerry though NONE of them served on his boat" Steve Gardner simply disappears from the earth even though hes all over the radio. "Its lies, all lies!"
Even though
1. Christmas in Cambodia was a lie.
2. The no man left behind incident has been changed by the Kerry campaign SINCE the democratic convention supporting the swift vets claim Kerrys boat fled.
3. Kerry's Purple heart has now been admitted by the Kerry campaign that it was gained under false pretences and the wound was self-inflicted
4. Then a lie that came out after the book was the "flying dog" lie that Kerry made to humaneusa.org
The media needs see the bias and cut the S*** and get down to the business of reporting and actually doing research.
They won't. They're part of the bias. They're doing their absolute, level best to suppress the Swiftvets.

Its diversionary. First they want to protect the public from the image of what Kerry was like in Vietnam. He comes off as a complete socio-path consumed with his power over the Vietnemese and manipulative and distrusting of the federal government. Later a collaborator in an plot to assassinate a senator and a competual lier, distorter, and all around bad guy. By focusing on the "Texas Nexus" they can avoid those issues and use the SwiftVets to attack Bush. It is unnerving to say the least.
That the MSM continues in their bias is only to be expected, that the Republicans don't call them out on it is inexcusible.
You watch the media though, they'll print anything the Dem's feed them in response as if it were the gospel.
My wife and kids were at Hershey Park yesterday until 9PM and I watched some network news, some cnn and some fox.
Every last one of them covered the Swifties ad nauseum. What shows are you watching?
they will eventually..they will have no choice
(and then they wonder why FNC has become so popular)
Doogle
In your dreams. They want to see Kerry elected and unless he self-destructs, they're not going to drop the hammer on him. 90% of the mainstream media journalists are Democrats and liberals.
And everything else is filtered through their worldview. Wake up, the media is manipulating the public. This set of events (Swiftees) is one example among thousands.
Have to say that Lisa Myers covered it last night on NBC. She did a reasonable job of it. Made mistakes, but her mistakes actually hurt Kerry. I'd say it was 60/40 pro Kerry, which for the MSM is not bad.

Why did John Kerry add four bronze stars to his records on 3/12/2001?
You forgot:
* The Swift Boats operated in close coordination with each other, and it is easier to comprehend the worth (or danger) of one of the team members if you weren't on that same boat. How many of the non-sKerry boat members are supporting him?
No matter... this is really not about the Swift Boats any more.
This election has now become a DUEL TO THE DEATH between the Old Media papers and the Fraudcasters, set against the New Media: internet and talk radio.
We're not going away.

See post 11. I withdraw my coment as far as Lisa Myers is concerned.
Man it's friggin' SKerry! I've never seen this on a national scale... it seems like a SciFi Channel, made-for-TV special!
It could be 21 years and the main stream media would still not cover it.
They haven't been "mainstream," since World War II!!!
Walter Chronkite singlehandedly defeated the Unites States in the Vietnam War, for goodness sake!!! (along with help from John "Fonda" Kerry!!!)
