Kerry/Edwards lawyers warn TV stations over Swift Boat ad
Rush ^ | August 5, 2004 | unknown

Posted on 08/05/2004 12:01:48 PM PDT by mcg1969

In Rush's closing segment he said that he just received a story or document saying that lawyers for both the Kerry and Edwards teams were sending out letters to TV stations warning them about showing the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth advertisement!

Great Parody and photo arrangement.

That photo of Ma Ma T Rex is another one for the collectors.

O'Reilly was a disgrace last night. H&C went fine. Estrich didn't lay a hand on one of the vets and the "response" by Rasmussen (or whatever his name is) was anemic.

That is what makes Freepers so great.

We work with each other, borrow stuff from each other and keep refining the end product to stick it to moi Kerri even more.

O'Reilly is a pompous windbag. He feels that everyone should come to him for advice. FOX is rapidly turning into the enemy. Probably pressure from Murdock.

Here is a letter that I sent to Gromer Jeffers, Wayne Slater, and Tim Connolly of the Dallas Morning News asking them what plans they have to report on the Swift Boat Veterans' ad the journalistic improprieties of the Boston Globe's Mike Kranish.

I would urge others to write Mr. Jeffers, Mr. Slater, and Mr. Connolly and ask them the same thing in your own words.

Be nice -- if we can get one major newspaper to report this story then others will follow.

I built my letter around one written by another Freeper but I can't seem to find it now. If someone figures it out who I plagiarized it from please ping them and pass along my thanks for a great letter.

-DallasMike

===================

Boston Globe reporter Mike Kranish reported earlier today that "a key figure in the anti-Kerry campaign, Kerry's former commanding officer [George Elliott], backed off one of the key contentions."

Swift Boat Veterans for Truth issued a statement a little later that has Mr. Elliott claiming that the Kranish article is "extremely inaccurate" and that it “highly misstated his actual views.” Captain Elliott reaffirmed his original affidavit and requested that the ad still be played.

Get this, however – Kranish is the author of the forthcoming official book on the Kerry-Edwards campaign called Kerry and Edwards:  Their Plans and Promises! Not only that, the Boston Globe has assigned him to cover the Kerry campaign. Why is the author of a fawning campaign book on John Kerry masquerading as an unbiased reporter and why is the Boston Globe allowing him to do this?

This is an amazing conflict of interest and downright journalistic malpractice. What plans does the Dallas Morning News have to report on Mr. Kranish’s impropriety? Has the Dallas Morning News contacted George Elliott to verify that Mr. Kranish really did misstate his views? Does anyone at the Dallas Morning News even care?

Re your post 17, I sure you heard it with that special ABC Radio "twist" that they apply to news that is not favorable to Democrats.

Unions are giving 800 million to the Kerry campaign. Hope McCain is satisfied. What goes with him?
