23. Never believe what you read in the media
Edited on Fri Mar-19-04 08:04 PM by pmbryant
Read the excellent blog Daily Howler once in a while and you will realize that even the "prestigious" news sources like the NY Times are full of political reporters who love to twist quotes out of context, and sometimes even invent stories out of thin air.

This happened in 2000 to Gore with the whole 'invented the internet' BS and many, many other issues.

Now it is happening with Kerry.

Please do not let yourself fall into the trap of believing this crap.

--Peter

EDIT: Just found a working link to the story and the answer in right in the byline: David Halbfinger. One of the worst offenders at the NY Times for malicious political journalism. See dailyhowler.com for details.
