Perhaps the mainstream media regarded the "Swiftboat Vets for Truth" as more appropriate fodder for supermarket tabloids than mainstream publications? Given the resumes of it's leaders, which we've discussed in previous posts, and the holes forming in the statements of others, first Elliot and now Thurlow, I'd say the media was correct in that assessment. After being totally taken by Bush over Iraq they weren't about to fall for this Swift Boats whopper. Total silence from the media.

I agree with you 100%. After humiliating and defeating John McCain and Max Cleland with lies and ugly insinuations, the Right thought it could pull down Kerry with the same tactics. Think so? As Kerry said: "Bring it on." So Bring It Own. All's fair in politics as long as one side recognizes that the other side has access to the same tactics, the same information, the same truths however conceived and believed, and the same bully horn to broadcast their message to the same American public.
