p>I read your piece on how unlikable John Kerry was and I found it
interesting that not one person used to demonstrate Kerry's alleged
miserable personality and alleged slacker work ethic were willing
to be named. Did you really talk to any staffers -- either one of
his or of Senator Edwards? Or did you simply make up this whole
story? Without names it is impossible to find out if your magazine
truly talked to anyone. A cynical reader like myself sees stories
such as that one as a propagandist use of your pages to attack a
candidate who might be able to unseat the president. Finding
sources willing to put their names on their opinions used to be,
and should be again, a basic practice of Journalism.
