Band of Brothers

Instapundit says the election is less important that the implosion of the media. I don't think I'll go that far, but recent events certainly highlight the problem.

But the press -- and this, to me, is the most interesting and disturbing part of the story -- has been shamelessly covering for Kerry, first by ignoring the story, then by spinning it, and now by confusing it.

A few years ago -- maybe even a few months ago -- I would have looked at a story like this and, if it never got much major play, would have assumed that there was nothing to it. Now I know better. (Question: Was the press more professional decades ago, or was it just harder to tell when they cheated?)

jk says it's both: they're worse and we finally have an outside point to see how bad they are.
