KRUGMAN: Checking the Facts, in Advance
Eight lies that you will probably hear in the next debate and some perspective:
"Mr. Kerry sometimes uses verbal shorthand that offers nitpickers things to complain about.....Mr. Kerry can, at most, be accused of using loose language; the thrust of his statements is correct. Mr. Bush's statements, on the other hand, are fundamentally dishonest. He is insisting that black is white, and that failure is success. Journalists who play it safe by spending equal time exposing his lies and parsing Mr. Kerry's choice of words are betraying their readers."
