Debating the chargesHere is an example of Lehrer's total bias. Note how he aids and abets O'Neill's lies and then blocks any rebuttal:
Tour of duty
JIM LEHRER: Is it your position that what John Kerry did was special and abhorrent beyond the norm in terms of medals, in other words, that he personally and in some kind of craven way lied to get these decorations, unlike other people who followed different kinds of behavior?
JOHN O'NEILL: Absolutely. In our unit, we never had anyone leave Vietnam short of having a major... being wounded in a serious way or dying. He is the only one that we can find. <yeah, I'm sure they really tried hard>
He left in about four months <LIE!, Kerry served 2 tours>, much short of the twelve-month normal tour of duty that people serve. He did that on the basis of having three Purple Hearts. I debated him in the Cavot show attended by Mr. Oliphant.
Lehrer then allowed no rebuttal and changed the subject
