Kerry placed in the defensive role.

Why is it when I watch campaign coverage on the networks or the cable/satellite news channels, they give Kerry's campaign output minimum coverage ... and give the Bushies a whole bunch of minutes. And they say something positive about Bush ... then a brief Kerry response ... I've given up on TV and listen principally to Sirius Left and Air America. I briefly skim a few conservative websites to see what they are up to ... and its no good. But in order to take time to take a look at Kerry's communication ... I have to go to progressive radio or progressive websites or to Kerry's campaign website. They are treating Kerry very unfairly.

1. He's fighting back

And the lies are getting too big and too many to sustain.

2. I hope so. I hope he's effective at fighting back.

3. I agree

All they can do is put him in bad positions. They are using soundbites at certain points in time during Kerry's speeches in some of the latest news coverage. They make it obvious they(the media) don't like him. They are using likablity as an issue. But it seems in this election that isn't working, so what do they do, they go soft on the opponent(Mr. Bush) and attack Kerry trying to prove his "fault" but don't even bother to do the same with Bush. They were doing such a good job getting on Bush's ass for a while before the Bush campaign officially started these petty attacks.
