Why did Kerry have to make the McCain ad?

[Cocoa]

why couldn't the media, on its own, remind us about that debate? I found it easily on the Internet, why couldn't a single reporter do so?

Even now that Kerry has produced that ad, is anyone going back to revisit that smear Bush did on him?

What about his smear against Cleland?

1. "why couldn't the media....."

huh, you expect the liberal media to do their job, be objective and do something that makes Bush look silly? Where have you been the past 4 years?

4. We don't have "the media". The Republicans do.

It is that simple. A reporter may have done it. But the Editor decides what gets printed. He is paid by the owner. The owners of the major media are either all Republicans or are intimidated by them.

6. the media defined as...

a marketing tool formed to sell the products of its sponsors and the status of its own celebrity authority.

8. Who cares? Kerry's fighting and defending himself well here

The best part, of course, is McCain saying: "Now I don't know how- if you can understand this, George, but that really hurts,"

Payback's a bitch George.
You cannot possibly understand.
You are not a "brother" in arms.
