As the Scandel Continues, Pundits Notice that the Post Misses the Story

Micheal Barone notes a double standard at the Post.

The Post hasn't covered candidate Kerry's false claim to have been in Cambodia yet, but repeated the lies made by Michael Moore and others about President Bush.

Shocking, it's shocking ............a double standard at the Post.

Barone writes, to establish candidate Kerry's false claim that,

"Andrew Antippas, the foreign service officer in the Saigon embassy in charge of keeping tabs on the Cambodian border from 1968 to 1970, recalls only one “river incident involving the Cambodian border or Navy actions inside Cambodia.” Adm. Roy Hoffman, the commander of the swift boats then, says that none of them went inside Cambodia."

.......and later he notes the double standard,

"Kerry’s Christmas-in-Cambodia claims were first noted in the widely read instapundit.com on Aug. 6. As this is written, on Aug. 13, not a word about them has appeared in The New York Times or The Washington Post, nor have they been discussed much or at all on ABC, CBS or NBC News. This is a vivid contrast with the treatment by these news organizations of the charges -- false charges -- by Michael Moore and Democratic Chairman Terry McAuliffe that George W. Bush was AWOL while in the National Guard. A double standard seems to be at work."
