Michael Medved had Jim Zogby of the Arab American Institute on today. Zogby's upset with a Bush ad that supposedly shows a Middle Eastern-type face (in reality the actor is of Italian extraction) when it mentions the war on terror. What Medved pried out of Zogby was that his "outrage" didn't get started until some reporter called and asked him to react. In other words, the media are going around trolling to find (or generate) negative comments about Bush ads.

Exactly. The press release was merely the "hook," as it's known in the business, and reporters were briefed and ready to follow up so as to make news. They're part of the conspiracy and happy to be of service. The thing that everlastingly amazes me is that conservatives are always ready to kick Lucy's football one more time. Any savvy press person could have seen this coming a mile away. Instead, they took another kick. Saps.
