I believe the major media would never report anything that reflected poorly on the current illegal immigration situation, even if it meant passing up an opportunity to bash Bush. Leftists love poor illegals.
They did the same thing in 92 - Bush 1 lost the base when he raised taxes, but the media intentionally never made the connection.

Excellent insight. The Dems are very much aware how GW has shot himself in the foot with his base by means of the amnesty proposal. Mickey Kaus made a point of mentioning it last night on Dennis Miller. But the last thing they want is for GW to make a mid-course correction, and reconcile with his base on the issue. They know that they can only benefit from Bush continuing to push the proposal.
