You have a point, and I usually feel like you do a bit. But, the media does like a story, and this DENIAL of facts IS A STORY. I think when a percentage of those on the fence voters learn of this, they will vote for Bush.
You see, the mainstream media has been trying their best to avoid the VVAW activities of Kerry when he came back from Vietnam. Now, with this DENIAL, there is just a chance that they can't avoid it any longer!
And isn't it strange that CNN's Woodruff was involved - a big Clintonista. This might be all the Clintons' doing to dump Kerry for Hillary.
