My guess is that CNN will play Kerry's demand for an apology without playing his original comment.
It would be a miracle for the republicans to pull out this election with the media doing full-time work for the democrat party.
Like it or not, a lot of people are not tuned in and simply listen to what the news tells them.
If the news always spins things for the democrats, a lot of people won't even KNOW what the truth is, or be able to understand they are being lied to.
The Washington Post sometimes has been even more partisan than the Webb campaign press releases.
CNN has been trying to get Bush to apologize about SOMETHING for six damn years!
"It COULD have staying power, but of course it won't"
It WILL, but ONLY if Republicans come out firing with BOTH BARRELS, RIGHT NOW....
Every single candidate has just been given the gift odf a hammer especially designed for Democrats, and it's far beyond time to do it....
(1) The Republicans will NOT hold the democrats 'feet to the fire' on this one and issue a joint condemnation of his remarks, and
(2) The MSM will run cover for Kerry and the democrats--and virtually ignore it.
