As long ago as last December, the press was laughing at John Kerry and his chances to win the nomination. Now, they seem deeply offended that President Bush has even decided to run for re-election. Where it gets really weird is to watch the same people who were deriding Kerry just a year ago, now are willing to "go to the mattesses" for him. So what's the deal with the press and John Kerry? What makes a nice guy like Chris Matthews want to jump across the table and verbally assault a woman on nationwide TV, just because she disagrees with him? What makes newspaper after newspaper assault anyone who even dares say something negative about John Kerry? Thousands of man hours have been spent "uncovering the truth" about President Bush and his time in the Texas Air Guard, but the only time spent on the Kerry-vietnam story is to dig up information on the people who are standing against Kerry. No one in the press has spent more than a glancing look at Kerrys actual record. If there was the slightest hint that Bush had done what Kerry has most clearly done with his record, we would be talking about President Cheneys chances for Re-election right now.There has to be something more here than just simple "media bias". I can make a pretty easy to prove case that at this point that the press is no longer objective in this election. I think that's easily proveable. I think that is what is different this time than in elections of the past, where it was clear that the press had a bias, but they still did their job, it took some nudging, but during Clintons years they did report on Jennifer Flowers, and the whitewater scandal eventually, If such a thing were to happen in the Kerry administration, I seriously doubt it.

If George W. Bush is right, then they might have been wrong about so many things for so many years, which means we might have been wrong all along about a great many things.
So, why is the press unhinged and supporting John F. Kerry like crazed moonies?
It's for the redemption from their sins and the return of a moral order that they can understand, more importanly a moral order on which they sit at the top.
By working to elect John Kerry, they can return to the world where Vietnam was wrong, but they can now say that defense of America is right. By working to elect John Kerry, they do not have to confront their bigotry against their very own country and its countrymen. By voting for John Kerry, they can tell their friends abroad that they need not fear us anymore, that they knuckle dragging republicans have been removed from the levers of power, and the men of breeding have returned.
More simply put, by electing John Kerry it let's a generation off the hook for its malfeasance in the defense of liberty.
