Where's the equality?

We have all seen the news bias in favor of sKerry. Here is another example.

Moveon.org?

The most famous 527 group -- The Swift Boat Veterans for Truth -- launched a devastating series of ads earlier this year attacking John Kerry (news - web sites)'s Vietnam war record, but was criticized for alleged ties with officials in US President George W. Bush (news - web sites)'s reelection campaign.

So now the swift boaties are a more famous 527 than MOVEON.ORG?

Moveonpac.org is the entity producing ads. It is not a 527, but rather a political action committee. The press usually screws this up.

In order to comply with U.S. tax and election laws, the MoveOn family of organizations consists of three entities, each with its own separate website:

MoveOn.org, a 501c4 organization, primarily focuses on education and advocacy on important national issues. Under U.S. tax laws, a 501c4 organization can engage in lobbying for legislative change but is not allowed to intervene in political campaigns in support of or opposition to any candidate for public office.

MoveOn.org PAC, a federal political action committee (PAC), primarily helps members elect candidates who reflect the organization's values. Unlike 501c4 organizations, PACs are allowed to raise "hard money" for individual candidates.

The MoveOn.org Voter Fund is a 527 committee - the same IRS category as the Republican National Committee, the Democratic National Committee, and the campaign organizations for John Kerry and Bush-Cheney ‘04, Inc. MoveOn's voter fund primarily runs ads exposing President Bush's failed policies in key "battleground" states.

OK. That's nice. But how come the article didn't include that part of moveon.org?

Still the same issue. Always report any percieved negativity dealing with Bush, but none on sKerry.

MoveOn was also multiple times higher funded than any other 527 as well. No mention of that either.
