Howell Raines, former editor of The New York Times and constant target of conservatives claiming media bias, has written an article for the UK's The Guardian about Kerry's troubles. One telling thing about it's author and his biases is this statement:
As America's first war-hero candidate since John F Kennedy . . .Only a liberal would forget Bob Dole's bronze star and two purple hearts (for much more severe injuries than John Kerry's) and George H.W. Bush's three Air Medals and Distinguished Flying Cross. Was he trying to directly equate John Kerry and John Kennedy and didn't want to lessen the impact with comparisons to Republicans? Or did he just not remember the Republicans because, well, they are Republicans? Whether intentional or not, it is still bias.
