Your book is so much more than a history of the 2004 campaign. It really digs into the entire history of media bias from Vietnam until now. Kerry and the Swiftvets just provided a perfect microcosm example for complete analysis.

That was what I meant by "perceptive."

The 2004 Kerry Wars opened the eyes of many to the astonishing dishonesty and manipulation practiced by the old media opinion formers - all those charming, photogenic people who insist on being known by their first names. Tim and I tried to pull the whole story together, backed by as much hard evidence and first-person testimony as possible.

Thanks again, and I'm looking forward to reading your own new book.

We freepers have been clued into the old media for many years, but for many non-political types, the blatant bias exposed during the Swiftboat vets episode caused them to take off their blinders.
