On October 31, all three broadcast networks led their nightly news programs with coverage of the controversy surrounding Kerry's botched joke intended to criticize President Bush on his Iraq war policies, but has been misrepresented by Republicans and some in the media as denigrating U.S. soldiers in Iraq. These outlets have also ignored comments by several prominent Republicans acknowledging that Kerry did not intend to disparage American soldiers.
In contrast, at no point has NBC's Nightly News, ABC's World News, or the CBS Evening News even mentioned* -- much less led with -- President Bush's October 30 statement during a campaign speech that a Democratic victory in the midterm elections would mean that "terrorists win and America loses."
Kerry made another stupid move in apologizing - this is why he and the Democrats could not get elected in 2000 and 2004. They refuse to stand up to the maliciousness of Bush and the entire right wing crowd!
Everyone knows what Kerry was saying and everyone knows it is true! And I am not only offended at what Bush said, but damn angry that the media would not challenge that kind of rhetoric. Bush does not speak for real Americans; he speaks for an extremist, elitist crowd who will continue their practice of "the end justifies the means" as long as we let them!
