So, their editorial page hates him. But the newsroom...
Right now, the front-page web pic (Kerry) has the following caption:
Kerry Presses for Filibuster
Senator John Kerry today continued his apparently futile attempt to block the confirmation of Judge Samuel A. Alito Jr.
So the editorial board calls senators "spineless," say Alito must be stopped, then, in this caption and many news articles, say resistance is futile.
Gotta love the confusion of the corporate media.
