"attacks by Republican officials, have been increasingly successful in PLANTING the image of Kerry as an unreliable leader who flip-flops on the issues"
Notice how carefully msnbc chooses their words, inferring that Republicans are PLANTING an image of Kerry.
Would be much more correct if you simply substitute the word EXPOSING
The poll suggests that negative ads by the Bush-Cheney campaign that have been airing since early March, as well as attacks by Republican officials, have been increasingly successful in planting the image of Kerry as an unreliable leader who flip-flops on the issues -- perceptions that Democrats will work hard to reverse at their convention.
I guess the mainstream media has been neutral relative to the criticism of the president {sarcasm off)
This is the subtle, more damaging kind of liberal bias the Nets like to use... It's along the lines of Cheney's "SECRET meetings" with energy executives to develope engergy policy when "PRIVATE meetings" would be a more accurate but less nefarious choice... Nice catch...
1st rule in Dem Club -- Do ANYTHING to get elected
