“Kit” Seelye flipped about Bush and the Guard

[Jackpine Radical]

KIT-FLOP! “Kit” Seelye flipped about Bush and the Guard. Ain’t it time that the press limned this story?

(Jan 28, but still...)

...
How weird! Bush’s superiors had said that he didn’t appear! And yes, they said this in real time! But how convenient! The Bush camp had (belatedly) found a torn document, on which only his middle initial appeared! Apparently, Thomas accepted this absurdly strange document, and—without telling her readers how strange the doc was—she said it proved that the Globe was all wet. But then, the Times pandered to Bush all through Campaign 2000. This late report by credulous Thomas was the paper’s one last, parting gift.
Pitiful, isn’t it? That the press corps left the facts of this story in this absurd state? There are other mysteries about this “torn document” which we’ll note another day. But let’s face it—it wasn’t just Bush who refused to report. Your press corps avoided its duty during Campaign 2000, and we’ve seen the results of their dereliction this past week. We’ve seen Seelye contradict her own paper’s report. We’ve seen Jennings imperiously lecture Clark on “the facts.” In truth, “the facts” of this case are still grossly unclear—as unclear as the origins of that strangely torn document. But who exactly are the “deserters?” In our view, it’s time that the press corps returned to its post and worked its way through this strange story

1. Kit was one of the "spite girls" during the Gore campaign wasn't she?

Are you saying that she is now writing stories about Bush that are not positive?
