Koppel doing a Swift Boat Story?
Just caught a promo during This Week where Koppel is talking about interviewing villageers "who were there" during Kerry's Swift boat actions. He ends the promo with "Is Kerry telling the Truth?

What the hell?

I thought the so-called major networks had moved on from the swift boat stories....is Koppel just trying for some cheap ratings?

:wtf:

1. Koppel only does embedded journalism anymore
they stopped doing real news stories a long time ago.

2. If they talk to villagers
I think it will vindicate Kerry, as often happens when the media tries to whore the R/W slurs against him. I hope a lot of people watch and realize they've been lied to about JK's war record.

3. Hold on
We don't know what direction the story will take. It could be good.

As for the "ignore" strategy, it didn't work before and it won't work if they run that infomercial the day before the election.

You may be completely right, but I'm waiting to see the show.
