Swiftboat Sandbag

you know, my problem with the whole swiftboat deal is the media coverage. Though less true in the major newspapers, many network news channels are spending more time with "how does this effect Kerry!?!" news stories than "is this stuff even TRUE?" stories.

it is as if the truth gets a backseat to 'the effect'. The result? a complete disregard of the Press' solemn charge...to find the truth...in exchange for 'effect analysis'.

Ladies and gentlemen, when i get more background on the facts of these allegations from the DAILY SHOW than i do from Wolf Blitzer and CNN, something's wrong.
