No, I'm saying that, when one purports to deliver
news, one should not sneak partisan cheerleading into the effort, no matter what side you're on.
My local paper keeps talking about the "discredited Swiftboaters". It speaks as if the subject has been closed. It simply does not quote any of the rather conclusive evidence the other way, and, in fact, walks very lightly around how Kerry has admitted that his Cambodia stories were "not quite accurate". It certainly never speaks of how the central points that Kerry was trying to make as he attempted to sway US policy depended on the very anecdotes that he now dismisses as mere details.
So, yes, dishonest.
Oh, by the way, over 700 arrests of protestors at this point, and what does the NYT have to say about it?
"Until now, the organized protests that have drawn hundreds of thousands of people have proceeded mostly without violence."
Tell me - which side does this misstatement serve?
