>the current Bush attacks on Kerry involve distortions and taking things out of context in a way that goes beyond what Kerry has done.

Kerry distorts, takes out of context, and mistakes all the time, but these are not central to his efforts to win.

We have a responsibility to hold both sides accountable to the public interest, but that doesn't mean we reflexively and artificially hold both sides "equally" accountable when the facts don't warrant that.<

You left out the quote in bold, which is crucial. The MSM is admitting that they hold Kerry to a far different standard than they hold President Bush.

When is the general public going to wake up to the fact that our news is as distorted in its own way as anything the old Soviet machine ever fed its people?

As soon as they finally realize that they are the old Soviet machine with a new face.
