ABC News: Don't "Hold Both Sides Equally Accountable" LGF Drudge has yet another revelation of mainstream media’s blatant bias in favor of John Kerry: ABCNEWS Political Director Mark Halperin admonishes ABC staff: During coverage of Democrat Kerry and Republican Bush not to “reflexively and artificially hold both sides ‘equally’ accountable.” The controversial internal memo obtained by DRUDGE, captures Halperin stating how “Kerry distorts, takes out of context, and mistakes all the time, but these are not central to his efforts to win.” But Halperin claims that Bush is hoping to “win the election by destroying Senator Kerry at least partly through distortions.” “The current Bush attacks on Kerry involve distortions and taking things out of context in a way that goes beyond what Kerry has done,” Halperin writes. Halperin’s claim that ABCNEWS will not “reflexively and artificially hold both sides ‘equally’ accountable” set off a sparks in St. Louis where media players gathered to cover the second presidential debate. Halperin states the responsibilities of the ABCNEWS staff have “become quite grave.” In August, Halperin declared online: “The is now John Kerry’s contest to lose.” littlegreenfootballs.com
