That is exactly what I said in a letter to Senator McCain: "How can you denounce the Swiftboat Veterans for Truth when you haven't spoken to one or even read their book?" (still waiting for the reply to that one)
How can Kerry's attack dogs call them "liars" and "hired guns" when Kerry himself has not disputed, with facts, as single one of their allegations?
How can the so called "mainstream" media refuse to interview the SBVT, hell, not even cover the story, when they went after the President and the NG allegations without a shred of evidence or witnesses, pro or con?
How can anyone call the 250 decorated and honorable veterans of the SBVT perpetrators of a "smear campaign" while calling the proven liar John Kerry "heroic?" Why aren't they making even the most superficial notice of his lies about "Christmas in Cambodia?" Kerry was as close to the North Pole as he was the Cambodian border!
How can plagiarists and fabricators like Mike Barnicle get on the Imus radio show and call them fabricators and their book "political pornography," particularly when he hasn't even read it? How can he question their testimony as if he were there? How dare he even be allowed to mention their name with a record of deceit such as his!!??
How can the "mainstream" media make Michael Moore a "hero" of free speech and political piety, when his movies are demonstrably full of out of context quotes, creative editing, and outright fabrications, yet call "Unfit for Command" a political hit piece?
Similarly, how can the "mainstream" media, who put every utterance and unfounded accusations by the like of Richard Clarke and Joseph Wilson on the front pages of their papers for weeks, and make them the stars of the Sunday morning talk show circuit, and "humping" their books, when the bipartisan 9/11 commission essentially called them, ummm, "untruthful" (to put it mildly). And how can the media then refuse to interview John O'Neill or review the SBVT's book?
How can the media call itself unbiased and fair with a straight face?

Because they are unAmerican, unloyal, lying, prevaricating, socialist traitors. There is one thing that hasn't changed at all since Viet Nam, except to get worse, the media is not on our side.
