Nightline is going to "cover" the story tonight.

I predict

a) It's all Bush's fault

b) Nothing to see here

c) Republicans are mean

What do you think?

LOL... sounds like par for the course.

Here's the blurb from their website, looks like McAwful wrote it.

Guys,

I am not going to be able to see Nightline, but I don't think they will trash the SBV4T as much as they would like to.

Why? This has in the last few hours become a "media feeding frenzy" and Kerry is the main course. They will do nothing to offend their newest darling....and that's us.

Don't get carried away or overconfident; they still hate us, but IMHO they will no longer protect Kerry.

Truer words I never read. If not for Polaris, Me#1, and others plugging away today for quick responses to the Washington Post story, this might not have taken the good turn it did (although Kerry coming forward and thrashing around would have helped).

The hate is palpable, but the MSM is in tatters itself after ignoring this story for a long time. They won't carry water for him anymore--except, perhaps, NBC, MSNBC, and CNBC, which have hired Douglas Brinkley for analysis. NBC's so in the tank it won't even try to hide it and recover from it.

This story has legs. It will be on tonight. Kerry is toast. Kerry may be the first Presidential candidate to drop out before the election.

Everyone,

I also think this will go down in history as the dawn of the blogosphere. For the first time in history a major new story was carried WITHOUT the mainstream media.

Although the MSM tends to be a monolopy of thought, it remains somewhat competitive among the conglomerates. You will notice the NBC group, Newsweek and The Washington Post tend to hand together due to mutual business interests. Since they have decided to be blatantly and unabashedly in the tank for Kerry--and hired Brinkley to rub everyone's noses in it--the CBS and ABC cartels will be slightly less pro-Kerry. This rift will not be glaring but has become discernible in the last few hours.

We shall see. After what they did for Clinton, I don't think you can trust them at all.

I think that right now, this moment, as we speak, John Kerry's butler who travels with him is burying one single tyne of a fork deep in Kerry's butt, to prove he does have shrapnal in him.

[stealthy]

It's on. Chris Bury is a far-left liberal. No way will this be fair.

The ad is "infamous" and raises questions about Bush's service.

The "attack group" is how they're described.

Always Anti-Kerry too.

The typical McCain dodge.

It's a smear. Plainly.

Next up, the NYT's version of the genisis.

I saw Nightline and listened to Paul Bedard from US News and World Report. Bedard made it clear that he supported Kerry but what made me mad was his disrespect for the swift boat veterans. One of his comments was no one cares about the swift boat veterans. I was left with the impression Bedard didn't see any value in veterans. As of now the script is unavailabe for access on the internet but should be available soon.

I recommend that his comments from the script be made available and not only veterans but the general public should complain bitterly to ABC and US News and World Report on his venemous remarks about veterans. I am no subscriber to the magazine and never have an interest in reading a magazine that will allow a commentator to spew this hatred

Agree on that comment JK, no question people still care about the Veterans of Vietnam...and because of the Swift Vets fight to correct the record, many more care more all the time....

I realized how out of touch those comments are. They just don't understand what is going on. That ad is the strongest commentary on a politican since they started making TV ads.

I thought Nightline did a fair job....if it was Koppel doing the program it would have been lopsided.

But remember these are the same guys that did not get the Ad or the overwhelming response....they are clueless. They don't even understand the Veterans are pissed because Kerry compared them to Genghus Khan.

As soon as that ad runs there is little question that Kerry is a liar. I just watched the new Kerry ad....it does nothing.

Kerry is flopping and liberal media is horrified
