He was there and he did play tennis.

To compare their unfavorable spin on his attendance to the forged documents in the Rather/Mapes story is really a stretch.

You didn't read the article then. They not only mentioned he played tennis and was there, they insinuated that it was unethical. Read a little more dead and get back to me.

And, btw, it isn't my title. It's the exact title Human Events gave the article.

No, it isn't. They were aware of the actual reason for the trip and chose to misrepresent it. Slander and Libel come to mind.

Sure, the factual basis is substantially different. However, the intent in both pieces was the same, and unless you saw the piece, it's hard to understand why the Federalists are so pissed. It was a sheer, unadulterated hack piece. I was cursing at the TV, I was so mad. And I'm as used to scummy MSM as you are.

No one disputes that

Then you missed the point.
