The Hanoi John meme
This has the potential to be much more damaging to Kerry than that UN story, which is as mind-numbingly wonky in its details as any of Kerry's speeches. Kerry's propaganda value to the Viet Cong is old news to those of us who take the Swifties seriously, but not too many people know the extent of it.Although the Sun doesn't have the reach of the Times, I think this story will percolate out to the average voter faster and with more impact than one more obscure convoluted Kerry lie that can only be exposed by quoting officials no one's ever heard of.
UPDATE: Ace has more. Meanwhile the latest ham-handed CBS-inspired attempt to discredit Bush blows up in their faces. It's pathetic that anyone at the Times would trust any documents from CBS at this point.
UPDATE: Roger Simon points out some implications of the munitions dump media scandal. Lessee, first we had a major news network blatantly trying to influence a US presidential election, now we have the same network in league with the UN to influence a US presidential election. Sounds to me like the UN wants John Kerry to win, and I don't blame them.
UPDATE: Scott has a link roundup on the Viet Cong story.
UPDATE: I know I'm running one post on two completely different stories, but too late now. Dinocrat has more on the IAEA memo which touched off the latest "Bush is incompetent" kerfluffle being busily spread by the media and the Kerry campaign.
UPDATE: If we are lucky, this will be the final smackdown on Al Qa Qaa, although hearing news anchors pronounce that has been fun.
On April 4, 2003, CBS (of all places) reported that the al Qa Qaa industrial site was thoroughly searched by the 3rd Infantry Division. Suspicious material was found.So if there had been 380 tons of more suspicious stuff there, as was claimed, they would have noticed it. If they didn't, odds are it went missing before the troops got there. (We need a name, like Laphamization, for this process of confronting news organizations with their previous reports that they don't bother to check their latest ones against.)
Roger is pissed. You know, even the Sunday Arts and Leisure section doesn't thrill me as it once did.
