I wouldn't worry about this line of argument. It is long winded and wordy, just like Kerry. No one can possibly keep this in their head.

Compare with "I voted for it before I voted against it."

This defines Kerry.

CNN lost 50% of it's viewership during the past year!

And .. as they continue to bash Bush, their numbers will continue to drop!

You're right. An overt attack based on misleading and outright false assertions. For example:

# He argued a federal Department of Homeland Security wasn't needed, then devised a plan to create one.

From this thread I posted a few days ago from *June 2001* just look at what the Bush WH was discussing and considering even before that horrific attack:

The Bush administration has seized the problem aggressively with a range of initiatives to have a working system in place to defend the country against attacks on its critical infrastructure. Pentagon insiders tell Insight that Rumsfeld's reviews pay close attention to homeland defense and that the administration is weighing creation of a special office for that purpose.

~snip~

Now, does anybody believe the spin that Bush was weighing a department of Homeland Security before 9/11 but then argued against it after? Poppycock.

This phony cry of bias is really too much - when has anyone here ever complained that Rush or Sean don't give enough of a liberal voice on their shows.

Rush and Sean are not pretending to deliver straight news facts sans opinion. They do give their opinions and they back them up with facts. Unlike thisy hooey disguised as "news".

This list is exceedingly misleading and is in fact an attack on the adminitration, yet the writer would most likely deny having presented opinion or biased assertions.

Nonsense.

Only if they're really changes. If they're not wouldn't you agree this is exceedingly misleading if not in fact reporting lies as news?

Analysis: Bush stubborn streak an issue


Compare to this AP article 5 days later that says Bush is too stubborn. LOL. Can't these guys at least share notes when they write hit pieces!?
