It looks like the mainstream press is starting to turn.
Tonight's CBS news segment on the campaign led with Kerry talking on the economy, and Mike McCurry not doing enough to lower expectations. The piece on Kerry shows everyone being very energetic. Flip to the Bush segment, which shows Kerry saying "... and you can prove to the world that you did it for legitimate reasons", then shows Bush talking up "the global test" remark, then immediately states "It's a misrepresentation of what Kerry said".
Now we need the earned media to fact check the global test thing as fradulent.
Smell the fear, folks. But keep pushing!
