John O'Neill in TAE
As far as dead tree publications go, The American Enterprise is the only political mag that I still subscribe to (the cycling mags are a different story!). Scott Johnson at Powerline highlights the April/May issue, which features an interview with John O'Neill, the man who, as Johnson notes, had an immeasurable effect on the 2004 presidential race. Here's a brief excerpt:
TAE: How do you explain the media's response [to the SwiftVets May 4 press conference]?
O'NEILL: The establishment media was very pro-Kerry. They were opposed to any story that was critical of Kerry, and I believe that they were captured by their own bias. We met with one reporter around that time. We told a story to him relating to Kerry's service. He acknowledged it was true and terribly important. And he told us he would not print it because it would help George Bush. That's when we began to realize we had a real problem on our hands.
Johnson concludes with the suggestion that O'Neill should be awarded the Medal of Freedom:
There is no more deserving recipient, and it would drive...well, you know who, nuts.
Ohhh, yeah!
