Year: 2004

Study finds press to be pro-Kerry.

The REAL day job is calling today, so I won’t get my electoral college prediction out til this evening.

“The news media, much of it heavily biased, has been a more effective Bush opponent than Kerry and the Democrats. That’s why both Kerry and John Edwards in debates urged voters to remember what they’ve been seeing on television.”

Required reading.

The Great Pander-Meister, from an interview on MTV yesterday:

Kerry: You know, I heard Eminem on “Saturday Night Live” last night. I heard the song that he did. I don’t know if that’s part of his new [album] or not. I liked it. But that’s the only thing that I’ve heard in the last weeks. I’m on the trail. I’m campaigning every day.

We’re supposed to believe that John Kerry is up late Saturday night, after campaigning all day long, watching Saturday Night Live, and jamming to Eminem?

Further to the “BIG” story that was to come out overnight – the NY Sun has published an article from Tom Lipscomb. You can read it here.

Captain comments.

N.Z. Bear weighs in too.

ElBaradei says Al-Qaqaa story not politically motivated.

Respected journalist for UPI? Nope, just shrill.

I’ll go ahead and join the rumor mill – via friends like Spoons and N.Z.Bear. Here’s the gist – Kerry supposedly received a less than honorable discharge from the Navy. World Net Daily has a story, but, it’s not THE story, only a pre-cursor. We shall see.

Some are advising caution.

Further to my prediction that Yasser Arafat will never see Ramallah again, Sharon says he would block any request by Palestinian officials to bury Arafat in Jerusalem.

The big question this weekend has been what effect of the bin Laden tape will have on the vote Tuesday. I’m sure that the Republicans have been watching the numbers to detect any movement in the polls. Leave it to the Democrats though to actually take a poll on the subject. Today, Dick Cheney couldn’t let that go without a comment.
