Considering the original premise is press bias against Bush...

Tom Brosz — 8/19/2004 9:46:26 PM (archived)

I don't see that pointing out coverage that says "Bush sucks" is much of a refutation.

That aside, I stand by my statement that there was very little coverage of the Swift Vets by the media, and none at all before that TV ad came out, especially when compared to the Bush AWOL flap.

And as far as the Cambodia issue goes, the count is still pretty much zero.
