Meanwhile, while is USA TOADY whoring for Faux? In an article on Outfoxed, Toady Mark Memmott writes:

However, Outfoxed does not mention other memos its researchers obtained from Fox News staffers.

Those memos, shown to USA TODAY, remind correspondents to give equal emphasis to speeches by President Bush and his opponent, Sen. John Kerry.

Another memo says, "Let's not overdo the appearances by Kerry swift boat mate John O'Neill," a man who raised questions about the senator's wartime record. "He represents one side of the 30-year recollections of what Kerry did, or didn't do, in uniform. Other people have different recollections," the memo says.
Uh, shouldn't Toady Memmott be pointing out that O'Neill wasn't a boat mate of Kerry's and therefore has NO FUCKING PERSONAL KNOWLEDGE OF WHAT KERRY DID, OR DIDN'T DO, IN UNIFORM? Shouldn't Memmott point out this memo is completely inaccurate, as is Faux's reporting?

Shouldn't he actually address the question of how much airtime O'Neill actually got, versus all of the servicemen who actually served with Kerry? You know, that thing ... whatsit? ... reporting?

Just asking.
