Polipundit thinks the media could have scotched the story at the start.

The Vets

The lying liberal media, in concert with the Kerry campaign, are finally reacting to the Swift Vets. However, they're too late.

For a crucial two weeks, they attempted to ignore the Vets. Meanwhile, conservative media outlets, like this site and many more important ones, bypassed the lying liberal media. The storyline has sunk in. No matter what Kerry says about his four-month stint in Vietnam, he can no longer use it as a shield against his ultra-liberal voting record.

Think of that for a minute: By ignoring an important story, the lying liberal media helped solidify the story line! They no longer have a monopoly on information.

Meanwhile, the Vets aren't going away. As I predicted two weeks ago, they're going to fight all the way to election day by dogging Kerry at campaign stops, racking up massive sales of their book, and running hard-hitting, news-making ads in key states. If the lying liberal media had done their hatchet job on the Vets two weeks ago, instead of today, the Vets would have been put in a much more defensive position.
