Did The Media Ever Do A Shine Job Like This For a Bush Visit?

Dane Smith at the Strib may need a cold shower after writing this one. En route to state, Sen. John Kerry says Democrats should not be discouraged
The Democrats’ unsuccessful 2004 standard bearer is in Minnesota this week raising funds for DFLers and building goodwill for the future. In an interview with the Star Tribune, he continued to blast the Bush administration.
The story is little more than DFL talking points mixed in with Kerry’s pre- ‘08 message. Smith seems willing to print whatever is needed to keep the focus on Kerry’s visit as positive. Meanwhile when Bush comes, there is either a simple listing of where and when, or negative stories about Bush coming for suspicious reasons. We all know that the DFL always tries to spin association with Bush as bad, but why would Smith go out of his way to polish up John Kerry’s visit so much?
