Perhaps wanting to get in on the Pickens-Kerry bet, CNN's
Campbell Brown, in a program about negative advertising, asserted "Naval records and
eyewitness accounts by other sailors contradicted just about every
claim the swift boat vets made." Alas, Brown did not elaborate as
to which claims had been contradicted.
Brown is working hard to win influence and make friends across
the political spectrum. The same program has also been criticized by Media Matters because
Brown used the phrase "American insurgents" to describe
MoveOn.org.
UPDATE: Rob Bluey and Quin Hillyer weigh in on the show.
