Kerry asserted the following with regards to the medals are ribbons ribbons are medals issue on Hardball:
“This is a controversy that the Republicans are pushing.”
Ummm, no. Good Morning America found the story, Good Morning dug up the tape, and Good Morning America interviewed you. No Republican involvement. In fact, Charlie Gibson, the person who did the interview, said in the interview that he was there when Kerry made his demonstration.
But how have the media reported it?
Almost every story, contrary to the fact that it was uncovered by Good Morning America and no Republicans were interviewed, the lead line usually looks like this:
“Responding to Republican critics on Good Morning America, Democratic Presidential Candidate John Kerry denied…”
Why doesn’t someone ask him which Republicans work at Good Morning America?
Why doesn’t someone ask him why he’s blaming Republicans for the controversy when Good Morning America had at least 3 different tapes of John Kerry changing his story on the issue?
Why the fuck will no one press this man on any of his ridiculous claims?
Because he’s a Bush Critic(tm) and Bush Critics(tm) are given a platform, not an interview.
