Shocked, do you hear?

Come on, Peter, are you really surprised to find Partison [sic] bias at the Post? Does it take "pundits" to point this out? The Post has been a Democratic paper since your granpappy was kneehigh to a grasshopper. Maybe we need Claude Rains to come into the newsroom and say, "I am shocked - shocked, do you hear - to learn that there is Democratic bias going on." And even if you think it's news, since when is Democratic bias the concern of eyeonthepost? Is eyeonthepost now to become a Republican "truth squad"?

Which is not to say that I find much truth in your blog. Your continued attack on John Kerry (which actually consists of pastes from others) because he got a date wrong makes no sense. By now everybody on this planet knows that Kerry's Cambodia missions didn't occur on Christmas 1968, and he himself has acknowledged it. It is disingenuous, to say the least, to claim he "lied" because of an error in date of something that happened 35 years ago. (And to answer rsamet, what was "seared" in his memory was not the date, but the events: the missions in Cambodia.)

Yet you call this tiny error a "lie" and say it is "devastating for Kerry"! Well, Peter, if a misremembered and corrected date is "devastating", what do you call the misstatements and errors of Pres. Bush that led to nine hundred or more lost American lives and thousands of casualties? What is devastating to me is how quickly truth becomes a casualty when a person has an agenda.

But I still say that the real question is: Are we here to shoot down John Kerry, or to fight the anti-Israel bias of the Washington Post? If it's the former, count me out.
