| Quote: | On an August 13th taping of Larry King Live, President Bush said that "Senator Kerry is justifiably proud of his record in Vietnam and he should be,” and called Kerry’s service “noble.” In the same interview he denounced all 527’s against both him and Kerry and stated all of the ads should be taken off the air. This caused Reuters to run a headline stating: “Bush Declines to Condemn Attack ads on Kerry.”
Two weeks later Bush repeated his sentiments again, saying: "I think Senator Kerry served admirably, and he ought to be proud of his record.” When a reporter asked what ads he was condemning, and if he meant the Swift Boat ads, Bush replied: "that ad and every other ad. I'm denouncing all the stuff." Upon the astonishing announcement that Bush was “denouncing … that ad” the Washington Post ran a sub-headline stating, “Bush Again Declines to Condemn Attack Ad.” |
| Quote: | | Meanwhile, an anti-Bush 527 runs an ad attacking Bush’s National Guard service. Standing firm is John McCain who switches from telling Bush to condemn all of the anti-Kerry ads to telling Kerry to condemn all of the anti-Bush ads. In response to the ad and the pleads from Maverick, Kerry stated in a release: “I agree with Senator McCain that the ad is inappropriate… this should be a campaign about issues, not insults." This was good enough for the LA Times who issued the headline “Kerry Condemns Anti-Bush Ad.” |
Ah, the fair and balanced MSM.
