Oh, THAT liberal media

On my way into work today I heard Don Gonyea's report on NPR's Morning Edition (scroll down to "Kerry on the Offensive in NYC, on TV") about John Kerry and the Swifties. He describes how Kerry is on the attack against "Bush and his allies."

The report has clips of Kerry talking at Cooper Union in New York - with a gratutious mention of Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt also having campaigned there when they were running for President - and appearing on The Daily Show.

After listening, I couldn't help but be impressed by the subtlety of it all. Let's leave aside how nicely Gonyea tied Bush to a 527 to which he isn't directly connected and ignore the association of Kerry with other famous presidential candidates of the past who won. What I really enjoyed was how there were two clips of Kerry on The Daily Show and not even a mention of how he refused to say if he was ever in Cambodia!

It's almost like they're taking sides.
