Should Kerry publicly criticize the press ?

[kentuck]

And say exactly why he is criticizing them? Remind them of the job they failed to do in 2000 with all the talk about Al Gore's "lies and exaggerations", his "earthtones", "invented the Internet", "Love Story", etc? And remind the people that the media is doing the same thing again. They have spent days on the Swift Boat stories when it is nothing more than a propaganda campaign out of the White House. If they would only pursue the whereabouts of George W Bush when he says he was in Alabama and not one person in America can remember serving with him? He should call on the media not to allow themselves to be used by political hacks of either Party. They have a duty to report the truth and the facts, not rumors and gossip and innuendo, to the American people. Let us hope that they start doing their job and stop doing the propaganda work of the Republican Party.
