<font size=4>More Evidence That The Press Wants Kerry to Win <font size=3>Patterico <font size=4> Interesting statements made this morning on Howard Kurtz's show <font color=blue>"Reliable Sources,"<font color=black> by San Francisco Chronicle columnist Debra Saunders. Let's go to the transcript: KURTZ: <font color=blue>I mention MoveOn, because there are a lot of liberal groups, as you know, Debra Saunders, these 527s -- have there been a double standard in the media in not trying to make Kerry denounce the liberal ads, while reporters ask the president every day, why won't you disassociate yourself from the swift boat ads? <font color=black> SAUNDERS: <font color=green>I've never seen a voter say to John Kerry, but couldn't you just denounce the ad? Or they say that Bush is whatever. They don't ask him that question. But how many reporters would look at Bush and say, can't you just denounce this one ad? I think that we get used in this. And I think the other thing that I find so... <font color=black> KURTZ: <font color=blue>You're suggesting a double standard? <font color=black> SAUNDERS: <font color=green>I am suggesting a double standard. <font color=black> KURTZ: <font color=blue>Why do you think that is? <font color=black> SAUNDERS: <font color=green>I think that most journalists support John Kerry. <font color=black> KURTZ: <font color=blue>You really think that that's the reason? <font color=black> SAUNDERS: <font color=green>Yes, I do. I work for <font color=blue>"The San Francisco Chronicle." <font color=black> Now, Debra Saunders is a Bush supporter, so her statements don't carry quite the same stunning revelatory force as, say, liberal Newsweek editor Evan Thomas's admission that the <font color=blue>"media wants Kerry to win."<font color=black> But Saunders works with the people at the Chronicle. Is she lying about their political predilections? I don't think so.<font size=3> patterico.com
