I am beginning to suspect that the mainstream media is fully aware that sKerry is full of sh!t on his Vietnam record, and knowing that sKerry has based his entire campaign on those 4 months, realize that to expose that record will end the current horse race for the presidency.

The media sells conflict, if the sKerry campaign implodes now, there is little for them to write about between now and November.

While I'm sure a lot of the reluctance is ideological, I suspect an at least equal portion of their reluctance is job security.

Beginning to suspect? They socialize with the Kerry crew. They know as much about them as they do of themselves! They joke about this crap at the hotel bars on the campaign!

Of course they are fully aware that John Kerry is terminally full of crap!! They knew Klinton was also!!

and knowing that sKerry has based his entire campaign on those 4 months, realize that to expose that record will end the current horse race for the presidency.
It serves a twofold purpose. 1) They keep their ratings and advertising dollars higher due to a horse race presidential campaign. 2) They hope that their guy gets elected.

The last thing you could call it though is 'journalism.'
