Howie Kurtz Chats Away Our Case Of The Mondays

Howie Kurtz held his weekly chat yesterday and addressed, among many other things, John Kerry’s gaffe, Borat, and Saddam’s trial. Some excerpts:

    New York, N.Y.: In today’s article you said the media’s overplaying of Allen’s ‘macaca’ comment might be an indication of liberal bias. Why then isn’t media’s coverage of Kerry’s botched joke, which got about 100 times more air-time then macaca, an indication of conservative media bias?

    Howard Kurtz: First, because Kerry, as the Democrats’ 2004 presidential nominee, is much more of a national figure than a Senate candidate whose gaffe affected only his race.
