Brit, my hero, almost crossed over to the OLD MEDIA side earlier this week. On his Grapevine section on Special Report he mentioned John O'Neill's remarks on being in Cambodia on a Nixon tape. What wasn't mentioned was O'Neill's next sentence where he corrected himself.

I was disappointed too, but don't think it's a big deal. Eventually, the truth of the matter will come out. Not everything needs to be promptly corrected. Look at the interval between "no Swiftee was on Kerry's boat" to the revelation of Gardner.

Not making excuses for the libs in MA, but I have to say that many have been brainwashed by the media.
A good example of the subtle manipulation, I get both Providence and Boston channels where I live. I got to see meet the press on channel 10 from providence. Channel 7, the NBC channel there, showed local news. Both have the Olympics on now. My guess is most people in MA will not see Rudy on MTP. Sad as he might appeal to many of them, as he is liberal on social ideas and conservative on defense and law enforcement, which is the way MA is.
Before you say I'm wrong about MA, 85% of MA wants the death penalty.

I think Fox has been trying a little too hard to be "fair and balanced", they've lost their "edginess" (if that's even a word).

I have always liked Brit because he didn't scream at the person he was interviewing (like Russert and Matthews, and Hannity and O'Reilly), but he asked them hard questions and didn't let them get away with not answering. IMO, he's almost the only one on TV that does that. This morning he seemed a little subdued on the Panel.

Anyhoo, best thing on Fox News this AM was the Mailbag quote from the guy who asked if there was ever another Vietnam vet who obtained 3 Purple Hearts in 4 months and didn't suffer a permanent disability? Good question!!!

Also Mara made a good point about the poll showing people who thought Kerry "exaggerated" and those who thought he "lied". She said the exaggerated figure was as damaging as the lie figure, of course Juan had to bring up the fact that there was a difference between exaggerating and lying, LOL.

I've heard that line before but nobody has ever been able to tell me what the difference is between an exaggeration and a lie. If you exaggerate, you're not telling the story as it actually happened, i.e. you're telling a lie.
