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.
Many of us said that the MEDIA would go way beyond the shameless crap they pulled in '92.
They are even more Blatant than the old Soviet media.
THIS IS SCARY.
If Kerry wins.....just go ahead and toss your constitutions....cause he will push his communist manifesto.
He already controls the media.
He, Bill, Hitlery, and that a$$hat,RATher will be the new Polit Bureau.
Halperin says the responsibilities of ABCNEWS staff have "become quite grave."
Well, here we go again.
Let's get the FCC and the FEC on this TOOT SWEET!!
Kerry distorts, takes out of context, and mistakes all the time, but these are not central to his efforts to win.
We have a responsibility to hold both sides accountable to the public interest, but that doesn't mean we reflexively and artificially hold both sides "equally" accountable when the facts don't warrant that.<
You left out the quote in bold, which is crucial. The MSM is admitting that they hold Kerry to a far different standard than they hold President Bush.
When is the general public going to wake up to the fact that our news is as distorted in its own way as anything the old Soviet machine ever fed its people?
