Media Monitor - Media Scandals Without End - October 11, 2004: "In another case of media malfeasance, Washington Post columnist David Broder mangled the facts in a story about how veterans regard Kerry and Bush. Broder quoted one anti-Kerry vet as asking, 'Do you know that [the rally of disenchanted Vietnam vets Kerry attended in 1971] actually advocated assassination of United States senators? That reference to a rally of 'disenchanted Vietnam vets' was inserted by Broder. But what the vet described was a meeting of Kerry's Vietnam Veterans Against the War. Kerry initially denied being at a small meeting where the killing of U.S. Senators supporting the Vietnam War was discussed. FBI documents showed that Kerry had indeed been there. This should be a major story, but it isn't."
