Just fine? Reagan was exceptional at getting his message out. You think what he accomplished was common somehow?

You missed my point entirely. The poster had implied that Bush couldn't get his message out because of a hostile press. I said that Reagan managed to get his message out just fine.
By "just fine" I did not mean "just fine and nothing more." I meant that he did a very effective job as a communicator. That he got his message out just fine, that he was not hampered, that his communication skills were there.
I did not realize that "just fine" was such an obscure term. Don't they ever use that term where you live?
Reagan wasn't the "Great Communicator" in '87 and '88.
During Iran Contra and other problems.
Conservatives have been re-writing history and it's time that ended.
Good man, Great President, but communication couldn't spare him in the latter half of his second term.
He also did NOT manage Iran/Contra well at all.
