Evan Thomas Speaks Out Of Class Again From an RNC email today: CNN's HOWARD KURTZ: "It is a tight race. Do you believe that most reporters want John Kerry to win?" NEWSWEEK'S EVAN THOMAS: "Yeah, absolutely." KURTZ: "Do you think they're deliberately tilting their coverage to help John Kerry and John Edwards?" THOMAS: "Not really." KURTZ: "Subconsciously tilting their coverage?" THOMAS: "Maybe." KURTZ: "Maybe." THOMAS: "Maybe." KURTZ: "Including at Newsweek?" THOMAS: "Yeah." KURTZ: "You've said on the program 'Inside Washington' that because of the portrayal of Kerry and Edwards as young and optimistic, that's worth maybe 15 points. That would suggest." THOMAS: "Stupid thing to say. It was completely wrong. I do think that the mainstream press, I'm not talking about the blogs and Rush and all that, but the mainstream press favors Kerry. I don't think it's worth 15 points. That was just a stupid thing to say." KURTZ: "Is it worth five?" THOMAS: "Maybe, maybe." So which is it, Evan? Fifteen? Five? Care to make another stab at it?
