The truth about Kerry's affair in newspapers
Here's a description of Hollinger International which owns the newspapers 'scooping' the Kerry affair.

"Hollinger International Inc., incorporated on December 28, 1990, is a publisher of English-language newspapers in the United States, the United Kingdom and Israel, with a smaller presence in Canada. The Company's 23 paid daily newspapers have a worldwide combined circulation of approximately two million. In addition, the Company owns, or has interests in, over 250 other publications, including non-daily newspapers and magazines. Included among the Company's 144 paid newspapers are: Chicago Group's Chicago Sun-Times, the U.K. Newspaper Group's The Daily Telegraph and the Community Group's Jerusalem Post." http://yahoo.investor.reuters.com/FullDesc.aspx?ticker=HLR&industrypscode=PBLSHG&target=%2fstocks%2fquickinfo%2fcompanyprofile%2ffulldescription

3. BTW...
Hollinger's in the middle of some major foulness right now centering around (Sir) Conrad Black, who alongwith some other biggies in the company is accused of siphoning some hundreds of millions into personal accounts. Black just recently tried some sort of sleazy dealings to avoid divestiture, even though he'd already gotten the boot as chairman of the board. It's complex, but basically he's a typical right-wing sleazoid. Surprised?
:mad:

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation,
