My guess is that you are referring to the Denver Post but it could also be the Rocky Mountain News since they now "share". Typically, the Denver Post is more liberal but the News gets that way sometime.
I visit my sister on occasion who has no television and a very slow dial-up modem so the RMN and talk radio are my only sources of information why I'm visiting.
Right off the bat, in the very first sentence, without any presentation of facts or critical analysis, the DMN gives its readers all they think one needs to know--that the SBVets are assaulting the truth and Kerry's military record.
This is definitely the type of shilling, vacuous reporting, and propaganda that we need to guard against, speak against and write against for the sake of our civilization.

Daughter's conservative to begin with, but this has been infuriating to her. She's heard me ranting abot the New York Times for years. I don't think she realized it's EVERYWHERE.
That's what I mean. On the weekends, they share.
Actually they both have a daily, the Rocky is the Saturday and the ComPost is the Sunday. The newspaper situation stinks in Denver.
I've been under the impression that the picture used in the swift vet ads (in which various men pictured speak) is of Kerry and fellow officers -- not crew. I could be wrong . . .
Kerry made his time in Vietnam the "centerpiece" of his campaign for one reason.
His record since that time is unquestionably unpalatable to Average Americans.
I find it interesting the media now has a quandry. If they want to be viewed as "non partial" they have to do to John Kerry what they've been doing to George Bush since 1999, slam his military record, investigate all allegations no matter how trivial, no matter how well sourced answers are.
In short, the media has a great opportunity to turn around ITS PR PROBLEM. Not Kerry's, not the President's, but THEIRS.
I won't be surprised if they seize the opportunity to display equal loathing....pretty sure they now understand Kerry is going to lose....so they better start making lemonade from it.
Has the Kerry campaign ever answered Fox's questions from yesterday?
The key is to shame Kerry into releasing the records for his medals. That's a reasonable request and the only way to settle the controversy.
If he fails to release them, we must ask "What's he hiding?"
And if he does release them, we nail him with the facts.
Then move on to his fitness reports and his wife's tax returns.
Thanks for the info. Daughter also complaining that her radio station that used to be fun and spoofy has now gone to lib talk........boring and stupid.

"Latest accusation is that these people did not serve on JFKerry "ship"."
We are talking about a bass boat right and not a battleship, right?
To get to the article you have to register and give your life's history. Forget it!

J. eFin' Kerry made his military service part of his campaign. In fact it seems to make up the bulk of his campaign - he doesn't seem to promote his senatorial service, or his amazing ability to wed and bed wealth heiresses. If he changes the subject, I'm sure that FR will as well.
"Latest accusation is that these people did not serve on JFKerry "ship"."
"We are talking about a bass boat right and not a battleship, right?"
Yes, reason why I called it a "john" boat, these boats went up and down rivers, not many rivers large enough on this planet for a battleship.... or anything called a "ship".
What was the question?
There is always 850 KOA, Mike Rosen and Rush, or 710 KNUS, they have Prager opposite Rosen.
