Who said the media is liberal?

The Boston Globe has a piece on how Kerry lost. There are so many problems with it, it's hard to know where to start:

1. They claim that "almost all the prewar arguments for invading Iraq were wrong". Which is, of course, a lie. They only list two (out of about forty). Apparently two is "almost all" of forty. And even one of those two is wrong. The two they list are WMD's and "close links to al Qaeda". Leaving aside the fact that everyone (including Russia, France, the U.N., the Democrats, etc.) believed there were WMD's in Iraq and so it's hardly honest to brand it as a Bush "lie", the fact is that the media is now adding the word "close" before "links to al Qaeda". Bush never claimed any such thing. He claimed there were links. And, as the 9-11 Commission report made clear, there were.
2. The article keeps speaking of Republican efforts to paint Kerry as a flip-flopper, as if it were a totally fabricated accusation. Ditto the suggestion that he is "weak and inconsistent". The fact is that he IS weak and inconsistent. That's not just a Republican smear ... it's the truth.
   
3. The article keeps maintaining (much as the left did for Gore) that Kerry was always principled and consistent. To the extent that he ever appeared otherwise it was simply a result of how smart, logical, deep, profound, etc. he is. "Sure his positions seem contradictory and unclear ... but that's just because he's a genius and you're all morons."
4. The article insists that Kerry is principled but it then explains that he voted to authorize war because that was politically expedient (for him) at the time, and then voted to oppose the $87 billion because that was politically expedient (for him) at the time.
5. Then they describe the Swift Vets as "conspiring" against Kerry and "plotting the downfall of John Kerry", the implication being that they were deceitful.
6. It also mentions that there were 10 Swift Vets "plotting" in a conference room in Dallas ... conveniently ignoring that these 10 were backed up by hundreds.
7. Blah, blah, blah. It's like Terry McAuliffe wrote this.
