blurring distinctions

The Post's research shows that both accounts (kerrys book and swiftys book) contain significant flaws and factual errors.

I heard Cokie on NPR commenting on the swift boat liars this AM, and had the same reaction. These media morons comment about how this story has grown so large with such a tiny ad buy as if they were passive observers. And then they carefully present both sides. When given the opportunity to compare and contrast the controversy about Dubya's drunken tour of non-duty, Cokie said "the American people have already decided how they feel about Bush."

Thanks Cokie. Don't bother stating the truth, just pile your blather on the blather pile.

"lazy journalists" is getting to be a meme. Are people reading the Daily Howler?

From the NYT ...
But it has grown into a lazy habit: anchors do not referee - they act as if their reportage is fair and accurate as long as they have two opposing spokesmen on any issue.
