What Liberal Media?

About two-thirds of the way through a New York Times article about the unnecessary resignation of Benjamin Ginsburg from the Bush campaign, the Times squeakily mentions that the Kerry campaign's ties to 527 groups is far more extensive.

The Republicans, in an e-mail message to reporters, listed several Democrats who they said showed connections between Democratic 527 groups, Mr. Kerry's campaign and the Democratic National Committee. Among them were Zack Exley, the former organizing director for MoveOn.org's political action committee who now works for Mr. Kerry's campaign; Jim Jordan, the former campaign manager for Mr. Kerry who now works as a consultant for the liberal groups America Coming Together and the Media Fund; and Joe Sandler, who is a lawyer for both the Democratic National Committee and MoveOn.org.

But of course, the Times can't be bothered with investigating Democratic coordination.

Then the Times has this remarkable retort from Democrats:

Democrats said all of their activities were legal and that the groups are not leveling similarly personal and unsubstantiated charges against the president.

What? Unsubstantiated? John Kerry has had to admit that he lied about his secret mission to Cambodia. John Kerry has had to admit that, unlike his original version of the story, his was the only boat that fled the scene after another boat in his patrol hit a mine. John Kerry claims that, after returning to the scene, all boats were under heavy fire. But none of the thin skinned boats suffered so much as a bullet hole. John Kerry has admitted that he earned his silver star by shoot a wounded, fleeing Vietnamese in the back. John Kerry has admitted that at least one of his "wounds" was unintentionally self inflicted. It sounds to me that the Swift Boat Veterans charges are not just substantiated, but are substantiated by John Kerry himself.
