<font color=blue>"The massive Kerry error in running SOLELY on a 30-year-old war record has a higher-than-not probability of destroying his shallow campaign."<font color=black> Aye there's the rub. The elite liberal media is not much different than the liberal left. Many of them have a deep hatred of Bush. They know full well that if they begin to cover this swift boat thing widely, it is likely to cause the implosion of the Kerry campaign. And they really do not want to see a second Bush term. As much as I agree that the elite liberal media can be dragged, kicking & screaming into covering stories they have spiked, sandbagged, etc., they might be very reluctant to give this story wide coverage until/unless they absolutely have to. And no, I do not think this is a vast conspiracy among the elite liberal media. I do think it is more a groupthink phenomenon. Liberals dominate the media, particularly at the highest levels. They have convinced themselves, their peers & subordinates that this is a non-story or right wing conspiracy unworthy of objective coverage (plus they know this is a campaign killer issue). Since there are so many like minded liberals among them in their little protective bubble, there is no room for alternate POV's.
