 |
|
| Quote: | | Reporting on the resignation of presidential political adviser Karl Rove, ABC's World News on Monday night absurdly blamed Karl Rove for the ads from Swift Boat Veterans for Truth and featured John Kerry's condemnation of Rove as all three broadcast network evening shows castigated Rove for his criticism of how Democrats want to coddle terrorists and highlighted his "leaking" of Valerie Plame's name. ABC's David Wright cited Rove's "political ju-jitzu" in "turning opponents' strengths against them." With a Swift Boat ad clip on screen, Wright described a "sustained attack on John Kerry's war record, an audacious move considering Bush's Vietnam War record was weak." |

I think the BDS is getting the best of these people. Or, is it RDS now?

This silly distortion by a media outlet smacks of bitterness tied to the political defeat of the outlet's boy.
The only blame for the Swift Boat ads during the campaign of 2004 goes to John Kerry since the ads used his own words and actions to show he was unfit to be president.
On second thought, it is not blame. It is credit. |

I suppose that's a derivative of just whose ox is being gored...in this case, theirs....hence "blame"...but your point is well taken. |

I'm betting that ABC had lined up articles from their BDS 'sources' smearing Rove from now til next November....and figured they'd better publish now! Wouldn't make much sense to do so 6 months after Rove's exit, would it! Media hysteria is always at its finest when it's 'concentrated'!
Oh, and they've gotta save press space for next month when perhaps other BDS articles about other administration exits may take precedence! Make's ya almost think sometimes those busy li'l beavers at 'ABC' might have a brain (or at least a calendar)! |

And they see themselves as 'just good honest reporters'.
What's the definition of 'Delusional' again?
