1. Great - honesty as an issue - I wonder how fast the media will back off if

appears the message received changes from Kerry bad to "who is honest"?

2. John Stewart did a gag on the same theme last night

Followed Bush's "If you're going to make an accusation you have to be prepared to back it up" with his unsubstantiated Iraq/Niger/uranium accusation from the 2003 SOTU.

3. I wish NBC had ethics of Jon Stewart when discussing Bush/Kerry Honesty

:-)

Also CNN!

I long ago gave up on Russert and Fox.

5. why haven't you....

given up on CNN and NBC....they are whores as much as FOX!

Lets see...Bush lies all the time about small and huge matters that affect peoples' lives everyday and the media goes after kerry on credibility? What the hell is going on here? It's a bizzaro world.....up is down, and down is up!

6. McCain says Bush can not be trusted

BILL MOYERS: If you can't trust them (The Bush Administration), why can we?

SENATOR JOHN MCCAIN: I don't...I can't answer that, except to say that in 20 years around this town I've never had my word...I've never had people break their word to me in this fashion.

I know it's borderline criminal for some around here to put in a positive word about McCain, but he has a lot of respect from people on both sides of the political spectrum around the country. And when he says "I can't answer that....in 20 years around this town I've never had people break their word to me in this fashion" that will strike home to some people.

It's all about the credibility gap.
