It will be interesting to see if Brinkley decides to turn on Kerry in order to save his hide. His source lied, that's the bottom line. To protect himself, Brinkley will have to publicly say he trusted Kerry as a US senator and thus committed the worst sin a reporter can be guilty of, not double checking his source.

Based on that Globe article linked above, it's way too
late for that.

The Globe is owned by the NYT, by the way.

Hmm, well, Brinkley double checked his source, but only half heartedly. He didn't want to hear a discouraging word, so didn't look for any. He's part of the entire RAT scheme with the MSM to orchestrate the political landscape from the primary season to the election. We had Wilson, Clark, one movie after another, Moore's included, The Manchurian Candidate...which by the way seems to have landed with a thud..hehehe...all the lies about Bush being AWOL from the national guard. The cover of this week's New Yorker...Cheney on the table at the doctor's having his blood pressure checked...the scale on the wall like the terror threatometer. Are we supposed to glean from that that Cheney's had heart problems? Okay, then I expect next week that the cover will be Kerry having his prostate checked for a possible recurrence of cancer. Right? Guess not. The New Yorker's got exerpts from Brinkley's tome.

It is not a sin, it is a lifestyle with the AbCnNbCbs club.
