HOLY BIASED, BATMAN!... WASHINGTON POST DOES IT AGAIN
'Bush Campaign Accents The Negative'... And the Kerry Campaign?

Okay. These writers from The Washington Post are not biased against President Bush... are they? In this lengthy article about the Bush campaign's unprecedented volume of attacks, they give one paragraph to state that Kerry's campaign also "made his own misleading statements and exaggerations." But of course Bush made more of such statements so they write this article and give space to this important relevation. Can they please stop being so biased? If they are going to use their pen to push such an agenda, can they please provide better qualititative information to make this more believeable or interesting? At least make it entertaining for me, if they are not going to write a quality piece of news.

Scholars say volume of attacks is unprecedented

It was a typical week in the life of the Bush reelection machine.

Last Monday in Little Rock, Vice President Cheney said Democratic presidential candidate John F. Kerry "has questioned whether the war on terror is really a war at all" and said the senator from Massachusetts "promised to repeal most of the Bush tax cuts within his first 100 days in office."

On Tuesday, President Bush's campaign began airing an ad saying Kerry would scrap wiretaps that are needed to hunt terrorists.

The same day, the Bush campaign charged in a memo sent to reporters and through surrogates that Kerry wants to raise the gasoline tax by 50 cents.

On Wednesday and Thursday, as Kerry campaigned in Seattle, he was greeted by another Bush ad alleging that Kerry now opposes education changes that he supported in 2001.

The charges were all tough, serious -- and wrong, or at least highly misleading. (full article)
