biased statements:
Brown, a Republican, said in a statement that he'd introduced a similar measure, called the "Hire A Hero tax credit," but that bill had stalled because of partisan "gridlock." < bias: ignores Kerry is a cosponsor of bill that actually passed>
"In addition to the tax incentives, the bill we passed takes new steps that will help our veterans find jobs," Brown said in a video address to veterans. "It will revamp the old Transition Assistance Program so our armed services can better prepare active duty members to transition from the military to the civilian workplace."
Kerry also released a video address to veterans. <bias: both put out video statements, the junior Senator's is quoted and listed first >
Both Brown and Kerry are themselves veterans, Kerry serving in the Naval Reserve during the Vietnam war, and Brown a member of the Massachusetts Army National Guard since he was 19. < bias: Brown is NOT a veteran as he was not on active duty and they try to equate Kerry's to Brown's by saying (correctly) that he was in the Naval Reserve. >
