Yes, they are. And it is working, for the time being. But the DEM party has closer ties to its 527's, and perpetrating the "Bush is connected" meme damages media credibility.
The media won't fall over because it is caught in one big lie. It will take an accumulation. Slowly, but surely, they are setting themselves up for their deserved place of dishonor.
Without a doubt, the MSM is our staunchest enemy. They are liberal is journalist's clothing aiding and abetting the left's 527's and Kerry's campaign. Sickening.
