Well, at least Nightline didn't have Ted Koppel on tonight. They began by covering the Swift Boat Vets as Republican/Bush connected, anti-Kerry vets who have an ad out that attacks Kerry's Vietnam service. They pointed out the ad is at odds with the "official" Navy version as well as Kerry's version of events. In fact Nightline made a point of citing twice how the Swifties version was at odds with "official" Navy records & Kerry's version. Then they made a point of citing evidence that contradicts the Swift Boat Vets. Kerry's attack on Bush & the Swifites was given play. They noted that Bush has not denounced the Swifites & played McCain's admonishment of them where he said Bush should too. None of the serious allegations from the Swifties were highlighted. They didn't mention that Kerry's Cambodia story had to be retracted or that his "No Man Left Behind" story had to be changed too. And no one from the Swift Boat Vets was interviewed for the show. They did play a few short clips of a few of them, but nothing of substance. At least some of the story got out there & it wasn't a complete smear job on the Swifties.
