'Old' media still don't get it[Great retort to the "W means 'wrong'"]

Roanoke Times ^

[AppyPappy]

As part of his planned comeback, Kerry started telling audiences that the “W” in George W. Bush stands for “wrong,” reviving a strategy that I’m sure was effective when Kerry ran for president of his seventh grade. The trouble is he makes people wonder what the “F” in John F. Kerry stands for. After this week, it could be flip-flop, forgery, faked, fraudulent, forlorn or free fall.

After a few months: John Forgotten Kerry.

Nice post, AppyPappy!

Ed is a super guy, and one of the very few conservatives at the very liberal Hollins University, a bastion of feminist indoctrination.

How about F is for Fool.

[gridlock]

Hey, to change "Forbes" to "Forger" seems like a natural progression. Add to the CBS memos Kerry's continually evolving military record, and the shoe fits.

Morning AppyPappy.

An I the only one that is bothered by Kerry's speech this morning in which he said that Iraq had human waste hubcap high and trash as high as a Humvee in some cities?

[AppyPappy]

Hey YR. Hope ya'll are doing well.

I think Kerry was trying every angle to get noticed. He knows the media isn't going to fact check him so he can say anything. Too bad Dan Rather stomped on his buzz.

A few months? How about right now!

John who?

Have you actually seen him in the news recently (say since the Democrat convention), other than the Vietnam quagmire?

While some pundits see ideological blinders at work here, it has more to do with the arrogance that comes from believing you have a monopoly. If anyone at CBS thought that the memos might be called into question, they probably also thought not too many people would hear the question. The so-called Big Four networks (CBS, ABC, NBC and CNN) rarely, if ever, comment on each other’s content, nor is there much difference between what the networks consider newsworthy and what the major newspapers cover.

But that meteor overhead, representing Fox News, talk radio and the Internet, has indeed changed the world. Questions about the memos started on Internet blogs, progressed to sites like the Drudge Report, thence to conservative talk radio, thence to Fox News. (During the Republican Convention, Fox drew more viewers than any of the broadcast networks; it marked the first time a cable station had done so.) By week’s end, Rather was on the air defending himself, with the deer in the headlights look that immediately precedes the end of the line for a schoolyard bully.

Democracy has come to the airwaves. Whatever Democrat came up with these forged memos doesn't get it. The Democratic sympathizers at CBS who found them newsworthy don’t get it. They are still placidly munching away, dinosaur-like.

So true and it will only get worse for CBS, NBC, ABC and CNN...
