anyone know how Fox News is dealing with the Bush Guard story ?
it was fox news which pushed the swift boat liars claims even though there were facts showing they were wrong and the facts were on kerry's side.

for those who have the strength to watch fox news i was wondering how they are dealing with the bush guard story.

1. according to O'Leilly, its a non-story
'It happened 35 years ago, who cares? He said he made mistakes, but now he's a changed man'

Heard it last night myself...my, my, how quickly the spin changes

2. O'reilly also didn't push the Swift Boat story
He said that was a non-story also. So he has been consistent.

7. RIGHT , it's a tactic
keep having them on and reporting on it but give a little note at the end trying to make it like it's no big thing. and he did that whole thing about how he just KNOWS kerry wasn't in cambodia and made it up. since o'reilly's ass was no where near vietnam during the war how the fuck would he know.

6. yeah but all of fox news is
kinda saying "oh who cares? its so old..are these the issues the people care about?" but man alive...the spin they used on teh sb fucks were "well let these men talk...this is what THEY have to say...people can make up thier minds on the info we are just 'putting it out there'"

sick...but so far..this is going to be okay for us...I get discouraged when I watch the news..no matter what channel and GOD what happened to matthews? BUT...the people arent going to be talked out of voting for Kerry..we need to get them out there so its NOT close and so they can't steal it...

8. CAMPAIGN...JUMP ON THIS..It's relevant!
It's VERY relevant..it displays a long standing LACK OF RESPECT for the Military........It sets the groundwork for his IGNORING THE COMMANDERS ON THE GROUND when there were estimates for the # of troops required........

5. Before my stomach gave out
I saw them covering a car chase in L.A. on Faux and Fiends.

Nothing to see here folks. Look flashy thingies! Bright lights! AND.... the possibilty of twisted metal and gunfire!!

Pass the Pepto please.

9. I actually saw them read the whole story abut his commanding officer saying
Edited on Thu Sep-09-04 09:00 AM by sam sarrha
that he missed a year with no personal comments and passed it over to the "expert talking head" ..he gave a bland refusal it was true..

I was stunned.. they simply put it out there...

then they reported the story about the disposal of *ush's Nat Guard paper work and then reported that the man accused of doing it replied. "i did not alter any paper work"... but the question was 'did he throw it away'.... i have to admit that was slick.
