Did you see the BBC report on how the WP is handling the Kerry whatsit? AIRBRUSH AWARD: Drudge links to a story on the BBC, and quotes from it: WASH POST REPORTER: 'Nobody would be too shocked if Kerry lied about an affair. Even if someone came to us with photographs we still wouldn't run it'... But that quote--damning to the Post--is removed. However, as of the time of this post, it's still in the link that Google uses to link to the story. And here's a screen capture, for when it scrolls off. The BBC has quite a checkered recent history of airbrushing its stories with no warning. Looks like it's happened once again. eddriscoll.com ps. I would actually be happy to see the WP sit on the Kerry story - if they weren't at the same time trying to make a Federal case over whether Bush attended every last National Guard drill on time. As Hitch says, it's clear that Bush did the gentlemanly minimum to get by, which was more than most of his generation did. So bleeding what?
