Oh, yeah... am I the only one to notice how deeply the MSM has buried the kerry campaign connection to rathergate?
They may have burried it from us, but not from themselves. Kerry saw to it that the media will take care before it buys what a democratic campaign puts out again.
One big advantage a Democratic campaign had, was it could feed the press accusations about Republicans and the media would go with it. Because in the past there had always been a plausable grain of truth in the accusation.
This time it turned out to be fake and a lie. From now on the media will not be sure that what a democrats feeds them is not a fake and a lie.
It will be harder for Democrats to use the media to trash Republicans. No one in the media wants to be the next Dan Rather.
They would like to go with the crap the Democrats feed them but for a while many in the media will fear to go with it on the Democrat campaign's word. Kerry managed to screw future Democrat candidates. That is not lost on other Democratic candidates.
