RE: Kerry's comment, "the most crooked ... lying group I've ever seen.". It seems that almost everyone wants to give Kerry a complete pass on this vile, slanderous attack, including the liberal media. That comment was said with real conviction & Kerry stood by it the next day. You can't get more personal than that IMO. All 3 networks only gave passing coverage to Kerry's remarks late into the news. Sadly, as long as the liberal media ignores it, it will go away. My wife, who was on the road this week, had no idea that it even happened. She missed the evening news (which she rarely ever watches), her radio station didn't mention it & no one at work said a word about it. I mentioned that when Bush called a NYT reporter an "asshole", it was covered ad nauseam. My wife said she remembered when that happened because it was talked about everywhere for weeks. She finally is beginning to understand that there is something serious about liberal media bias because of this. She thinks Kerry's comments are considerably more inappropriate than what Bush said. She couldn't think of any plausible reason why all 3 networks wouldn't speak out against Kerry's comments at least as harshly & frequently as they did to Bush's remark. Bottom line. The liberal media still plays a big part in what is newsworthy & what isn't. FOX News, political talk shows on radio & the internet might be changing things, but not for a vast majority of Americans yet IMO.
