The Media's Campaign against Kerry

In 2000 the media conducted a "War on Gore," following the script of the GOP on the Internet and other "stories." I had some hope the media might cover the 2004 election on a balanced basis. Alas, it is not to be so. The Campaign Against Kerry is now well underway.

In Journalism School I was taught the old line that "if your mother tells you that she loves you, check it out." The new line appears to be "if the GOP tells you to attack Democrats, attack Democrats." One has to only look at the way the media has bought the "$900 in 100 days" line the GOP and Sen. Zell Miller has been pushing.

And by the way, why don't the Democrats throw Zell Miller out of the party?
