This ABC piece is a classic navel-gazing article. They have to cover it, because it is out there. It is a Dem, so they have to diffuse it. Sooo...instead of rehashing the Kerry gaffe, and his record of disparaging those in uniform, the subject is the media, how this got out, whether it should have gotten out, etc.
Contrast to Lott's comments at Strom Thurmond's Birthday party. The MSM was in full cry for weeks.

In the "glory days" of the Dinosaur Media, Kerry's outrageous statement NEVER.... EVER would have seen the light of day. Jake Tapper, Mark Haperin, Brian Ross and their DNC kneepadders can go pound sand.
