I love the part about not reporting that which "everybody knows" is not factual.
And who is to decide what "everybody knows," John? You, I suppose?
Old Horseface is apparently still spewing the same absurdities as he did in his Presidentical run.
I wonder if he's still dodging his Massachusetts' taxes by mooring his yacht in Rhode Island. Whoops! I think that's one of those stories that the media was supposed to ignore!!
SEN. JOHN KERRY: "And I have to tell you, I say this to you politely. The media in America has a bigger responsibility than it's exercising today. The media has got to begin to not give equal time or equal balance to an absolutely absurd notion just because somebody asserts it or simply because somebody says something which everybody knows is not factual."
"It doesn't deserve the same credit as a legitimate idea about what you do. And the problem is everything is put into this tit-for-tat equal battle and America is losing any sense of what's real, of who's accountable, of who is not accountable, of who's real, who isn't, who's serious, who isn't?"
