I'm not sure as to the exact message here - does it imply that Helperin is admonishing them for not holding Kerry more accountable?? Or Bush?

Sounds like he has ordered biased hits on Bush.

Halperin claims that Bush is using "distortions" to capture victory.

"The current Bush attacks on Kerry involve distortions and taking things out of context in a way that goes beyond what Kerry has done," Halperin writes.

Halperin's claim that ABCNEWS will not "reflexively and artificially hold both sides 'equally' accountable" set off a sparks in St. Louis where media players gathered to cover the second presidential debate.

The way Drudge has it worded it is difficult to tell what the context is, but since this is ABC it's probably meant as a Liberal hit job against Bush. I'll be plesantly surprised if otherwise.

The controversial internal memo, obtained by DRUDGE, captures Halperin stating how "Kerry distorts, takes out of context, and mistakes all the time, but these are not central to his efforts to win." Halperin claims that Bush is using "distortions" to capture victory. "The current Bush attacks on Kerry involve distortions and taking things out of context in a way that goes beyond what Kerry has done," Halperin writes.

Nope - more Bush bashing - Bush's distortions are worser than Kerrys so go after Bush.

The national press is nothing other than the propaganda wing of the Democratic Party.

I am just surprised that a normal thinking management person would instruct his minions to be unabashedly biased. In writing I mean. Looks like the FCC will be looking at another license.
