Smear Boat -- cont.

Turns out, actually, that someone did do a little research into the Swift Boat Vets for Truth. In May, 2004, Joe Conason had a fascinating piece in Salon entitled “Smear Boat Veterans for Bush” (http://www.salon.com/opinion/conason/2004/05/04/swift/index.html )

In the piece, Conason presented extraordinarily compelling evidence that the Swift Boat group was, in fact, the wholly artificial creation of a band of professional ultra-Right dirty tricksters and Bushite operatives (including some of the people who managed to sabotage McCain’s run for the White House).

Yet, did you hear a word about that in national press at the time?

Could someone explain, one more time, about the Liberal Bias in the media? I promise. I’ll take notes.
