is there some knee-jerk animosity toward Kerry/Edwards
by certain media types based on F-911, Michael Moore, and the soon to be released "Outfoxed"?

Leslie Stahl seemed miffed tonight. Made me think of other so-called-journalists that have become more willing to continually dish out the RW Talking points in interviews, news stories and campaign reporting.

Just when you thought journalism might make a rebound, the trenches get deeper.

1. this is nothing new. it's to be expected
the media holds kerry and edwards to much higher standards than they do with republicans and especially bush.

2. They Are Just Getting Warmed Up
By October they'll be stumping for Bush* 24x7
and probably refusing Kerry's ads.

Get ready for All Shrub All The Time

Maybe people will get tired of looking at him.

3. Nah, their just trying to be fair now while it's early.
Any intelligent person (and we have to assume that aside from Faux and some other fools these folks are intelligent) can see that Bush is a failure and has made our country a laughing stock. We are looked upon with disdain for having a cowboy redneck who can't even speak in complete sentences. He's toast and they will help - mark my words.

5. intelligence has nothing to do with it
fear of being ratfucked by Rove and losing their millionaire status will keep them in the bushgang camp through November 2.

6. The media is being "outed" big-time as the suck-up incompetents....
they are, and, in their embarrassment, they are striking out at our side. It's our side that exposed them.

7. Yes, it seems as if they want revenge against Michael Moore
for his movie and all the liberals that have been exposing the corporate media whores.

I saw the "60 Minutes" interview. Leslie Stahl could hardly contain her disdain for Kerry and Edwards - it was very obvious. Fortunately for her, all the botox and face-lifts kept her visage somewhat expressionless.
