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.
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.
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.

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!!!)
Actually this weeks US News & World Report has two articles questioning Kerry's Cambodia Christmas recollections and the fact that this might indicated a character problem with the Democratic candidate.
The media is slowly starting to recognize that their "fair haired boy" may have some warts and that as journalists they need to cover them, even if they try to apologize for him a bit.
The real issue here is that Unfit for Command has made the NY Time Best Seller List. If book sales stay strong for a few weeks, the media will know that the public has found out either by directly reading this book or by talking to friends and relatives who have read the book that Mr. Kerry embelishes things in addition to waffling on his positions. I feel that the public still remembers the lying, waffling presidency of Bill Clinton and doesn't want to repeat that.
At that point the media will be faced to deal with reality, which they are slowly getting around to, but kicking and screaming all the way. The mainstream media is just proving to the public that the mainstream media can not be trusted.
The other day, I listened to an NRR interview of an ACLU person and political activist talking about the coming Republican Convension demonstrations. What was striking abou t the interview was that they said that many people were now willing to demonstrate in large numbers because they had been alienated for so long.
I translated that to mean that many in the liberal left realize that the voters of the US have intensionally elected a Republican Senate, a Republican House of Represenatives and a Republican President and many many Republican Governors and don't like it that their views are no longer rubber stamped by government.
The media needs to sell advertising and generate money. Once they understand that they are no longer "main stream" things will change. We are seeing slow and small steps changes in those directions, whether it is the Dennis Miller show or Fox News dominating the cable channels.
You know, we need a thread like ## and counting, for the number of days CBS, ABC, NBC, etc do not cover the Swift Boat folks, especially given that the book will be #1 on the NYT best seller list come Sept 5th.
It was kind of eye-opening to see all the news, internet, blog, and other stories that this Google Search turned up.
What further surprised me was that most of them were fairly current, i.e within the last 3 or 4 days.
This story is growing and I now understand why Kerry and his machine are so upset that they are making presonal calls to the Swift Boat vets and trying to blackmail them either by attorneys or by private investigators.
ping!
I've been confused on this since Elliott's original report had Kerry's boat moving away and providing cover fire.
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
I've been searching for a quote that the campaign admitted this. I know O'Neill said they had on Fox, but I haven't found it yet. Any info?
Kerry staffer was high muckety-muck in Moveon.org = no peep yep from the media.
Nah, no bias at all
"Then a lie that came out after the book was the "flying dog" lie that Kerry made to humaneusa.org"
This was reported back in March
