NBC did a story on the draft tonight, probably inspired by last night's CBS story. The big difference though is that NBC said it is bunk.

CBS ran their follow-up to last night's story on Bush's flip-flops. They do list ten Kerry flip-flops. One big difference - I only found it by clicking on a link at the end of the Bush story. It is not one of their headlines although the Bush list is still there.

They probably think that they are being fair and balanced. I don't. A couple of the Bush flip-flops are forced or just not there (the one on WMDs for example). They did this in order to come up with an equal ten for each candidate. The Bush list was given straight without comment. The Kerry list has a few explanations added on at the end.

Kerry complicated matters with his now infamous words, I actually did vote for the $87 billion before I voted against it.

On Wednesday, he acknowledged that his explanation of his Iraq war votes was "one of those inarticulate moments."

I'm sure that the Daily Kos will think that CBS went too hard on Kerry.
