Kerry can distort all he wants....these are not central to kerry winning....Kerry can lie all he wants too and get away with it.

The White House should pull ABC's credentials immediately.

Yeah, that hadn't been read when I first posted.

We now have the ammo to PROVE ABC bias. I hope everyone is writing ABC, all the MSM networks, FOX, internet sites, our Republican representatives, the Dems, we need to push this fast and furious before the debate starts.

It was important to point out that Cheny sat next jedwards at a prayer breakfast, not that Kerry claimed 3 Purple Hearts and chose not to "stay and fight" in Viet Nam.

I agree with posting the whole memo. This might be taken out of context. The intent isn't really clear to me.

It is amazing however that Halpering doesn't just instruct his journalists, to remain above the spin, do not add to it and be fair. I guess those ethics are just out of style now.

Thank you for posting this! I've done numerous searches and was beginning to think I dreamed it.

When I sent my e-mail to ABC about Halperin's memo, spell check kept on insisting that "Halperin" should be "Hampering"!

Just remembered that I heard something about PBS...a vice president? resigned under a cloud. Some kind of wrong doing going on and being investigated/ Heard this on the radio today on the way home.
