misleading headline on their front page as well:

"Bush: Vets should halt anti-Kerry ads"

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/

This is misleading, at best. It's a damn lie. That's not what he said. Clearly Big Media is covering for *, because he won't do the right thing.

ON EDIT, my email to MSNBC.com:

"Why do you have a misleading statement as a headline on the home page of MSNBC.com? I am referring to the link to the 527 ads story that says, "Bush: Vets should halt anti-Kerry ads."

As I regularly visit MSNBC.com for my daily news, I am very disappointed to see that your organization is peddling the untruth that George W. Bush specifically condemned the "Swift Boat Veterens for 'Truth'" smear and asked for it to be taken down. He did NOT.

So, If a reader sees the headline but doesn't click on the link to get the REAL story, the reader is left with the impression that George W. Bush finally condemned the smear against the heroism and courage of John Kerry. He did NOT.

Your lead-in on the home page of your website is a LIE. Please correct it."
