Ransom Papers
The article is repleat with partisan Democrats shots from Newsweek against their political enemies -- for example, Newsweek goes out of its way to label the bi-partisan and non-ideological Swift Vets a "right wing" group, just to make sure the group gets marginalized one final time by the MSM Democrats at Newsweek. Here's more:
The Swift Boat charges were the source of constant debate in the blogosphere, the new online world of bloggers, the modern-day Internet pamphleteers whose screeds were widely read—especially by the young bookers and producers who set the agenda on cable TV. With all this churning in the new media, the story was bound to spill out into the undecided electorate. Mellman could see it in the numbers. So, too, could Kerry's old campaign manager, Jim Jordan. As an adviser to America Coming Together, he saw lots of polling. He could see that in West Virginia, a key battleground state, 65 percent of voters told one survey that they had seen the group's first ad, which was impossible—but they had clearly heard about it. A fairly small slice—16 percent—said the ad made them feel less favorable to Kerry. Jordan knew that the real number was higher. People don't like to admit that they're influenced by propaganda."Propaganda". Yes, you read that correctly. And what, exactly, is Newsweek attempting here? Read the article and you be the judge.
Charles Johnson's reaction: "mainstream media begins to reveal how much negative publicity about Kerry they concealed during the election."
What is Charles talking about, perhaps this juicy Newsweek quote picked by PoliPundit:
Historian Douglas Brinkley, author of a wartime biography of Kerry, cautioned [John Edwards in August] that Kerry’s diary included mention of a meeting with some North Vietnamese terrorists in Paris. Edwards was flabbergasted. "Let me get this straight," the senator said. "He met with terrorists? Oh, that’s good."This, folks, is the sort of stuff that the NY Times and CBS News and the LA Times and ABC News and the Washington Post and NBC News and TIME and Newsweek, etc., etc. refused to look into or report during the campaign. Why? Because these hacks were not going to let a simple thing like their JOB get in the way of what REALLY mattered to them -- the very core of their being as leftists and Democrats.
And don't miss the fact the "historian" and paid MSM "analyst" Douglas Brinkley kept this information to himself -- and divulged this information only to Kerry campaign insiders. That's right, the Brinkley scandals just keep on coming. The blogosphere stands in this man's debt -- Doug Brinkley -- the gift which keeps on giving!
And don't miss Patterico on what the MSM wouldn't report until after the election -- including don't miss quotes from Evan Thomas in an interview with Matt Lauer.
