More accurately, they use the threat of litigation in terrorem to coerce silence. -- as they did with the Swifties, who haven't been sued and haven't shut up. Mmmmmmaybe it's b/c the Swifties aren't lying. Truth is an absolute defense to a defamation claim, after all.
However, the DNC has no problem with PBS, for example, broadcasting a positive portrayal of Kerry --. . .

That recent "Frontline" piece tried to keep their obvious bias to Kerry subtle . . .but oh-my they want Kerry BAD.
So much of the "news" & comentary is pimping for Kerry. Thoough I don't believe it is entirely for his uber-liberal views.
I think that, quite simply, the media HATES that Bush is so impervious to their influence.
Kerry, OTOH, would be putty, in the medias hands; as Clinton was. Always wanting to be "liked". . . wanting to be popular.
Plus, think of the drama of having Kerry as CiC with his Vietnam record. The military has got to loath him 10 fold more than they loathed Clinton. Clinton was just cowardly. . .Kerry went out of his way to
screw the military.
