'In his cover piece after the election, this reporter revealed why the Kerry campaign had been "slow to respond" to the SBVFT. He wrote:
"Because most of the charges were true."
A fact that the left has no difficulty ignoring, evidently.'
Is it possible to provide a link to that. I'd like to read it myself.
An Inside Report On The Kerry Campaign...or a similar title.
One of their reporters was "embedded" with the Kerry campaign. There was a prior agreement that he would publish nothing until after the election.
There's a similar episode concerning the SBVFT, as reported by the Washington Post.
When they couldn't ignore it any longer, they did a complete report of the events on the river, when Kerry "rescued" the soldier. Gave it front page treatment, complete with diagrams.
For some reason, the Post assigned the project to their Science writer -- probably because he was the only person in the newsroom capable of doing any serious research.
The story exhaustively described the events of the day, as reported by various sources -- eyewitness, books, official reports, etc.
At the end, it concluded that the actual events had been pretty much as the Swift Boat Vets had described.
That was the first -- and last -- piece the Post ran on the controversy. And, to my knowledge, the last time that the Science writer did a front page piece.
