Are they supposed to buy airtime from themselves?

As many point out, most of the TV stations have been engaging in nonstop Bush bashing for the past year and a half, and have you forgotten the CBS special with Dan Rather, based on fake memos attacking Bush's character?

And now you are whining, because someone dares to air a special, at their own expense, on their own stations, which shows the truth about Kerry?!

The figleaf, the pretense of objectivity is an important deterrent. Dan Rather would rather have his newsmagazine show be called "Mother Jones" than "60 minutes". This is all just very unsavory and may have negative reprecussions. The key to the Dan Rather fiasco is that he got caught. Now he can just say that the other side does the same thing.
