You suppose Kerryitis is contageous?
An awful lot of people were bailing on the Swiftvets on a different thread that posted Kranish's original article.
Let us not be too "swift" to bail on these guys. You know that the liberal media is going to throw the kitchen sink at them.
Kranish should do what Peggy Noonan announced yesterday she was doing: take a leave of absence from his job with the Globe.
It's the only honorable thing to do!
If he's working for the Kerry/Edwards ticket, then he should not be masquerading as an objective "reporter" or journalist for the Globe or any other newspaper.
I missed something. What's on page 102 of an unpublished book, and how do we know?
The reporter is from the Kerry camp. He is writing a book for Kerry.
Look, it seems this reporter may have edited some words around. Its not hard to do. You can even tape record a conversation...and edit the tape...and try and use it as back up. The NYT, Dallas Morning News, Alanta Journal Const., and others have been busted for doing just that.
The Reporter does not even have to show a tape to try and save his neck for lying about an interview. The Globe can simply print a retraction buried way in the back pages and, to an extent, cover themselves legally.
I think the reporter intentionally misrepresented the interview. He works for the Kerry Goons.
THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING FOLKS. THE LIBS IN THE MEDIA ARE IN TOTAL PANIC MODE. The Swifties present a thermo-nuclear punch to the Kerry campaing. And the MSM, with guidance from the dems and their PACs, are gonna do everything they can to paint a false picture about the Swiftes.
That should be no shock to us.

Uh oh, who'd a thunk the Boston Globe would mislead their readers????
I appreciate this vet's candor and appreciate him all the more.
And we thought Jayson Blair was a bad boy!
"What did he retract and when did he retract it?"
Throw so much crap out there the public will end up not knowing what the hell is going on and what the truth is.
Kranish is outrageous.....he violated lots of these just by writing the book.

I got off the phone with Kranish...he denies the allegations of distortion of course.
Did Kranish deny that he wrote the introduction piece in the book?
He was obviously getting flooded with calls and just said "it is not true," he wanted people to know that, but he had to go. So, he hung up before I could ask him to clarify.
I am assuming he is denying he took things out of context and twisted the story.
Amazon.com proves he wrote the intro to the book, after all.
He would look pretty stupid to deny that.
So if you are going to get after someone how about the STATION THAT YANKED AN AD because of a article by a self serving author that had a clear conflict of Interest and has been OPENLY repudiated from the Officer quoted.
DEMAND THAT THE STATION TO START RE-AIRING THE AD!
This attack is not about the truth from the Demonrats perspective, it's about lying and intimidating these people so the story doesn't get told to the Masses.
Call the STATION!
From Drudge: [TV Station WTVG 13-ABC, Toledo, Ohio dropped the anti-Kerry vet ad on Friday after the Kerry campaign used the GLOBE/Kranish story to convince the station's management the ad was false.]
On FNC Shep Smith is acting like the guys in the ad are all lieing.
