Well, then we disagree. You are implying that Republicans were beating up on Dean and this impacted media reporting and public perception. I do not believe this is what did him in. The reason why it's important for you to understand this is because Republicans on news talk shows have little effect on public perception of politics. The liberals control the press. Republicans by nature are lame and boring, ineffectual attackers. Most people get their news from CNN and CNN haedline news anyway.

Over time as Dean kept opening his mouth, one gaffe led to another. It was the gaffes and his "I've got a scream" speech that did him in. It's only when Dean became even too embarrasing a buffoon for the media to swallow that the negative reporting did him in. It was not reporting of what Republican's said about him but the reporting on Dean's gaffes themselves that did him in. The media did him in because the media knew this idiot couldn't beat Bush and made them look like fools supporting him.

If, however, what you say is true, then, where are these Republican attackers? Name them. We can sure use them to discredit the rest of these liberals out there if they are so effective.

Is this why FOX News is the #1 Cable News channel?

Or why Talk radio which reaches MILLIONS of people is TOTALLY dominated by conservatives?

Common! Start showing some courage when it comes to being a conservative and stop being intimidated by the liberal losers like CNN.

The fact remains that Republicans gave Dean the out of control unelectable label LONG BEFORE the media caught on to it. Don't tell me that this and the conservative media replaying and laughing at Dean's inane speech had NOTHING to do with his downfall! They did.
