Nobody in America knew who John Kerry really was, and that was by design and assistance from the media.

Instead we were given story after story trying to link prisoner abuse to the president. How many times did you hear the word "quagmire" in the months preceeding the election?

Sure, Abu Graib was a big story, but I think one paper in new york made it the front page story 29 out of 30 days. Every single one of them was trying to let people believe that Presdient Bush was over there torturing people.

The Dan Rather thing - Its not only that they manufactured the story, its also that they waited to air the story at a time they believed would hurt the current president of the united states and affect the outcome of the US presidential election.
