Hah! Kerry has "a plan" and Gore had a "lockbox"--neither one was very effective, after all was said and done.

We have long known that the "Mainstream Newsmedia" has become nothing more than a propaganda machine--and the most powerful and relentless propaganda machine in history. Now, its spokespersons openly acknowledge this.

Halperin told his colleagues: "We have a responsibility to hold both sides accountable to the public interest, but that doesn't mean we reflexively and artificially hold both sides 'equally' accountable when the facts don't warrant that."

Halperin has to be an idiot to release a memo like this right after the Rather memos.

This just points to the duplicity of the entire MSM not just to CBS.

Can we expect a biased memo to be released from NBC soon?

That's not quite what the memo said. That, if true, would be a statement of fac, demonstrable at least in theory. However what the memo actually said was that the distortions are a central part of Bush's campaign, but the even more extensive distortions of the Kerry campaign are not a central part of his campaign. That's a judgement call, and not direct demostrable. It's also, IMHO not true.

Time for the SwiftVets/POWs "October Surprise.".

I find it difficult to believe that the type of propaganda and bias being indulged in by the MSM (?) is protected by the First Amendment, which was enacted to preserve and encourage the free dissemination of information -- but certainly not the deliberate spreading of patently false and damaging stories. Perhaps this issue can be revisited by a "strict constructionist" Supreme Court.

dncABCbs must be held to account for this outrage. If Halperin isn't fired by Monday amidst a strong denounciation, then we go after them, their affiliates and advertisers. Newsweek's Evan Thomas said the MSM was in the Tank for Kerry and it would be worth 15 points. The AP's Tom Hayes said the Bush supporters booed Clinton and Bush did nothing, this was a lie, they expressed sympathy. Rathergate, now this. The MSM sucks and is going down.

No matter what President Bush does it is wrong. He's led us through the war on terrorism and through the ups and downs of the economy and all the rest. They keep bringing up how many people died in Iraq and all the rest of the stuff they attack him with. Don't they realize that people die in war! One is to many but with out these wonderful people we would not have the America we have. I'm talking about the people who have died in all the wars that have protected America From Concord Bridge till now. These cultural marxists thatare led by hanoi john, Hitlery, and terry macawful will give America away to the THUGS in the United Nations.
