>The same mainstream media that a certain Newsweek editor admitted was worth 15 points for Kerry in the polls?

"admitted?" Any chance he was wrong?

This was 2004, long after the war runup, and he knows that or should. The "MSM", even the NYT (a certain Judy Miller leading the charge) gave bush a very effective platform for propaganda. Today we know that they used these paths to sell the war and spread dis-information.

Z, > Any chance he was wrong?

It's a hyperbole, for sure, but one which emphasized how the mainstream media favored Kerry.

I only bring it up because people who think the media gave Bush a "free pass" have a highly distorted viewpoint.
