One small voice in the proud tradition of FreeBlogging*Saturday, August 21, 2004posted by gbarto at 11:56 PM:Thought the layout of the Lying Bastard Sheet (er, New York Times) quite interesting this a.m. Apparently an awkward embrace shared by W and McCain is more noteworthy than Kerry launching a counterattack against the Swift Boat Veterans. The former, after all, was on the front page, with pictures; the latter was on A10 and didn't really address the allegations made against Kerry, merely quoted people saying they were unfair. Also deemed unfair, the Swift Boat Veterans' complaints that John Kerry came to political prominence denouncing his "band of brothers" as war criminals and now wants to be president on the basis of their glory.Still waiting for: a South Park style take-off on Sen. Kerry and Mr. Hat discussing their Cambodia adventures. The Mercury News also had a shot at knocking down the Kerry story - on the front page - which is good because it means enough people are talking about this now for it to be an issue. This is all to the good, because the press has spent three years trying to push up Bush's negatives - there's not much left they can do - but Kerry has had a relatively free ride. We'll know this is sticking, though, when the Kerry campaign starts talking about a need to focus on issues, not biography. * * *
