The Herald is STRONGLY against Kerry; read some of the editorials, most of the time they show a great distaste for him, as a candidate, senator, and human being.
On the other hand, The Boston Globe goes out of its way to make him look like the greatest thing since John Kerry.
If you want an accurate description, I'd do what I do; read both papers and split down the middle.

Doesn't that mean you're taking sensationalistic elements from both papers?
Sounds good to me

If this article was from Rush Limbaugh's website, it's safe to say it's staunchly anti-Kerry. And who the hell cares what he drives? I don't see them taking inventory in GWB's garage. Nor do I want them to.

Rush Limbaugh's website is as crediable as Al Frankins website.

you do get different of the story, even if they're sides at complete opposite ends of the spectrum.

It's important in this newspaper's mind to highlight something Mr. Kerry seems to do a lot. That being say one thing while doing (or saying) the opposite. In this instance, he has positioned himself as a very strong environmentalist. It is therefore relevant to many people if Mr. Kerry recycles his beer cans, drives a fuel efficient car, etc.
Mr. Bush really doesn't have much of a position on the environment besides "Pollution bad". It's hard to nail him for being a direct hipocrite. Bush would drive an SUV and Republicans would applaude him for buying an expensive American car (making a more significant contribution to our economy) while being able to consume as much damned gas as he's willing to pay for.
Kerry's different because his constituents care about different things.

Slightly off topic, but I think Kerry daughter is not cute at all. She doesn't have a hot face and she has a fupa. The naked pictures of her were interesting to look at though. We're waiting to see some of the Bush daughters.

The whole point is that Kerry said he sold his SUV's and "downgraded" to save oil resources. He then went to Detroit and told a bunch of auto workers that he owned numerous SUV's. He not only told them that he drove SUV's, he actually LISTED the numerous SUVs that he owns.
Then less than a month later he says he doesn't have any AGAIN.
To me, it isn't what he is driving, it is that he lies. Blatant lies, just to look good. Not mistakes or misunderstandings, just outright lies.
Why? Why do that? It just makes me mad.
I am not saying Bush is good, so don't think it is a political thing, I just hate being played for a fool.

I was thinking the same thing...not sure why everyone thinks she's so unbelievably attractive.
