Comments on: WaPo Reporter Michael Dobbs Answers Questions About Swift Boat Vet Controversy http://patterico.com/2004/08/31/iwapoi-reporter-michael-dobbs-answers-questions-about-swift-boat-vet-controversy/ Harangues that just make sense Sat, 26 Jul 2008 02:52:58 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 By: mikem http://patterico.com/2004/08/31/iwapoi-reporter-michael-dobbs-answers-questions-about-swift-boat-vet-controversy/#comment-3965 mikem Tue, 30 Nov 1999 00:00:00 +0000 /?p=1915#comment-3965 Just the fact that you are pointing out a main stream journalist who feels Kerry should reveal his military record is a sad comment on the disgraceful (and unashamed) performance and bias of the MSM in this campaign. I have voted from both sides in my lifetime and I have to think that journalists will one day regret having allowed their "profession" to be subjugated to political interests to such an unmistakable degree. It is a sad time for the once admired fourth estate. I even have a sarcastic sense of sympathy for the normally curious journalists who must smell a cornered hypocrite in Kerry but whose "political conscience" bars them from doing their jobs.
