| The media has successfully coined ‘swiftboating’ in the minds of the public...
Let's not forget that this is the same media that is going slowly out of business, that has lost the public's trust, and that is widely perceived to have a persistent liberal bias. If they were half as influential as they think they are, we'd be nearing the end of President Gore's second term. Or at least Kerry's first. Every time they use a term like "swiftboating," they remind half the country that they are partisan ax-grinders who can't be trusted to tell the truth. |
I don't believe that. I think the reporters and editors believe it, but none of them have any friends or acquaintances who aren't liberal Democrats. When they use the term, everyone around them nods in agreement.
