I called the AP this morning in Washington DC [(202) 776-9400] to ask them about this paragraph in an AP report by Matt Kelley with a DC tagline entitled, "Bush Piloted Guard Trainers Before He Quit."

This article contained the sentence:
“Republican critics have accused Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry, a decorated Vietnam combat veteran, of fabricating the incidents which led to his five medals.”

I asked the AP in DC what Kelley meant by "Republican critics" and whether he was referring to the Swift Vets and someone named Kara said – “the Swift Vets have had ties to the Republican party so I think that’s a fair thing to say.” Right..."Fair"...in your foggy brain I suppose!

I told her it should read "Some Vietnam Veterans" or "Critics..." Perhaps a minor point except they pound and pound this stuff at us til the "masses" are brainwashed. So it's high time we held 'em to account!

There are SO many example so how this happens all over the MSM...in so called "news" stories that are pablum fed to the unsuspecting masses...for the longest time outlets were reporting that "no one in the SBVFT served directly on Kerry's boat(s)" - FALSE- also, the inaccuracies as to how the group is being funded - just blatantly false or lying...well I think the masses are (finally) waking up!

I think the suggestion to boycott CBS until they source their bogus Bush docs is a fine idea...
