The Swiftee Story… And an Utterly Corrupt Press

So, lemme see if I’ve got all this down.

We have a paper.
It’s called the Boston Globe.
The paper is owned by the New York Times.
The Times is known for being rabidly leftist.
The Boston Globe has a guy working for it as a journalist.
The guy’s name is Mike Kranish.
Kranish is assigned to cover John Kerry and his presidential bid.

Kranish writes a bit today which the Globe prints [1], with inaccurate information in it, the object of which is to tear down the Swift Boat vets and their statements about John Kerry..  a leftist, who as it happens, hails from Boston. This story is exposed as a lie when the subject of the story comes out with a statement calling Kranish’s writeup ‘misleadning’. This subject then goes on to suggest he’d told Kranish exactly the opposite of what Kranish printed. [2]

The subject, one George Elliott, in fact goes on to re-state and reaffirm his original statement… a very harsh criticism of the fitness for the office of President of John Kerry… or, more correctly, the lack thereof

Now, we find out that this Kranish person also has been Hired by the Kerry team to write a nice forward to the official Kerry-Edwards campaign book.  The book was to be published by Times Publishing.

Now that all this case come out, Kranish has been removed form the project, AFTER the initial printing went out. Second pressings are going out sans Kranish.

Hmmm. Oops, huh?

Am I not to take this as indication of a corrupt press willing to lie and anything else it has to, to get their fellow leftists elected?

Am I not to question what else Kranish has falsified for money?
Am I not to question who else has similarly been corrupted?
Am I not to wonder why Kranish has a job at all?

Since this action of the Democrats is also outright stupid, perhaps fatally so, are we not to accept this as further proof of the desperation of the left?

And given all of this, can we trust anyone connected with either the so-called mainstream press OR with John Kerry and the Democrats?

Update: A tip of the hat to Jahn Hawkins over at RightWingNews [3], who is clearly watching this blog more closely of late. Also a tip to Captain Ed, who advises he’s about changed his mind from his original post [4]. He now is beginning to understand what I’ve been saying, and has a very healthy discussion thread going on this topic you should check out… on that same thread.
