Inquiring Minds

On the very same day the story broke in the NYT about the so-called missing explosives in Iraq, the Kerry campaign had him speechifying on it. Also, Florida voters in the area each received a free copy of the NYT on their doorstep that morning.

I'm guessing that John Kerry didn't adlib his speech - it was written for him beforehand and I'm guessing that his campaign didn't just wake up yesterday morning and say, "Hey I've got a good idea. Let's run down to the 7/11 and buy a bunch of newspapers for folks in the neighborhood." No, this was planned well beforehand. Which leads me to wonder how closely the NYT and the Kerry campaign coordinated this whole thing. Of course, CBS denied it coordinated their Bush National Guard story with the "Fortunate Son" ad campaign run by Kerry. Now, something strangely similar has happened again.

It's probably just a coincidence.

In case you haven't heard. The "Explosives Missing in Iraq" story has been easily discredited from publicly available sources. (Don't the NYT people know about the internet?) At least the NYT scooped CBS.

Please...don't anyone argue with me about whether there's liberal bias in the media. At least not in person...you might get slugged.
