"I believe Bush reminded millions of voters of why they like him and trust him even though they often don't agree with him."
I hope so. The media spin is driving me NUTS! And I'm usually immune to it. I was listing to Fox this AM and one of the editors of Newsweak was quibbling with Bush's quote that he didn't know he owned a lumber co. She was saying (without any proof herself) that Bush did own a small ownership in a lumber co. Hey, technically I own a small ownership in GM. I don't go around saying I own the largest car manufacturer in the world though. Bizzare.
But it gets worse. She then said "I don't think Kerry would make up a fact like that." Huh? Aren't journalists supposed to be skeptical of everything and take nothing for face value? Isn't that what journalism is about? And here is a editor of a large US news weekly saying "I'm going to give Kerry a pass here and go after Bush instead." In a couple of days we are probably going to find out that Bush, in fact, owns 100 shares of Georgia Pacific in a blind trust that a money manager bought last week and the media is going to shout Bush is a liar. Gimme a break. I gotta just turn my TV off until the election is over.
She probably owned shares of Terry McCauliff's Global Crossing debacle but cashed in "just in time". Any news on how that criminal investigation is going???
I doubt she is a wood kind of person. Plastic stock seems to more favor her appeal.
"I gotta just turn my TV off until the election is over."
I'm with you. I'm so tired of all these "news" outlets spinning and now it seems they ALL have an agenda (even FOX). I'm also tired of the polls. It's been the TV and the POLLS that have had me on this roller coaster of emotions. I'm up, I'm down... forget that, because if I keep watching all their crap - emotionally I'll never make it to Nov. 2 (and maybe that's exactly what they want).
It really does help ;-)
