WEll-lol-Rood was NOT on the boat but since he supports kerry, that does NOT matter to the CBS, NBC, PBS, CNN, MSNBC, and ABC press/reporters who whined about the Swift Boat Vets against Kerry as being not entitled to speak out because they were not actually on kerry's boat...but, instead, yards away. Pathetic, isn't it?

What really bothers me, and what has cemented in my heat that the above networks are propagandists, in support of Kerry and fully against President Bush is the simple fact that NONE of THEM have put Kerry's own book, Tour of Duty, into the debate regarding Kerry's character.

The book has an UPSIDE DOWN AMERICAN FLAG on the cover, and this book was taken off the shelves and off print by Kerry. WHY?

This cover-up is immense.

We know the mainstream press above wants kerry to win....we know they want kerry to be presented to the American people as a warrior, a fighter, a man who will protect our national security. Yet everything, and I MEAN EVERYTHING in kerry's past, including his YEARS as a senator, point to the exact opposite.

Our press corp has and is CHEATING the American people out of the full story, and it is so wrong. So hurtful to those who depend upon the above networks, trust them, believe them.

This abuse of the press corp could have devastating results for America should the Islamic radicals mount successful attack after attack against us, with kerry as president, and with his past having been hidden, putting all of us at risk.

The twisted logic of promoting a man who cannot run on his senate record, is anti-war, did not see communism as a threat, stated that nothing bad would happen if we withdrew from Vietnam, who helped destroy the resolve of a nation to win a war, trashed his own fellow troops, time and again in his senate record sought to destroy our military and intelligence capabilities, REFUSED to even attend intelligence committee meetings, refuses to release his full military service records, sends lawyers to attempt to undo his opponents rather than ANSWER the charges (some presidential material here-geez), needs botox and hairdressers flown across the country to keep him pretty, etc., etc., and etc., just blows the mind.

How our network press has denied the American people the full story of john kerry-instead of giving us a real debate, they give us attacks on the individuals who oppose kerry. Period.

The aged hippies in the dem party never grew up, now they are in charge, and their lack of conviction and pathetic cover-ups combined with their fellow aged hippies in the press is angering America now. I suspect the cup is about to overflow.

Thank God hillary never got her musings about controlling the internet accomplished.

It may be our only 'free press' left.

Rood's version supports the Swiftees. Get past the irrelevant differnces in detail regarding the single VC, and Rood is saying that Keryy did not attack a numerically superior enemy force, while under intense fire.

The defense of "not on the same boat" is gone. That's a good thing too.

It's nothing new. The media used to be the shills for Stalin, Mao, Ho, and Castro. Now pore ole' Fidel is all they have.

Please send your post #311 to all the press outlets. It says it all and SHOULD shame them.

Beautiful!! Well worth repeating:

Our press corp has and is CHEATING the American people out of the full story, and it is so wrong. So hurtful to those who depend upon the above networks, trust them, believe them. This abuse of the press corp could have devastating results for America should the Islamic radicals mount successful attack after attack against us, with kerry as president, and with his past having been hidden, putting all of us at risk.

H[N]ow our network press has denied the American people the full story of john kerry-instead of giving us a real debate, they give us attacks on the individuals who oppose kerry. Period.

Kerry's own book, Tour of Duty

Kerry's book was The New Soldier, and his biographer's book is Tour of Duty: John Kerry and the Vietnam War, by Douglas Brinkley.
