It really bothers me the Al Gore drug smuggling story was not reported nationally to any great extent (never heard about it here in New Jersey anyway), but that could'nt be because approximately 80 to 90% of journalists and reporters are democrats could it? After all, I would'nt want to be accused of believing in conspiracies heaven forbid!

>>And there is the alleged story about Sen. Kerry's Vietnam massacre is a case in point since Newsweek reporters apparently uncovered that story 2 years ago and never reported it. However, now all of a sudden it is a story, and Kerry's having to explain why he kept the bronze star he received for that action, despite the fact that no VC were killed, but only civilians (with no obvious ties to the VC). So we have to ask who felt that this story about Kerry is valid news NOW, but it wasn't then.<< One theory being floated is that Kerry people have encouraged the release of the story now so that it is not a surprise 11th hour scandal in 2004's nomination/election campaign. This way it'll be "old news" that competitors can't use as a weapon. Chas
