Nothing wrong for vying the media love, but it would be great if take the media to task & truth, like Rummy did.

Rummy took PBS to woodshed - Very interesting, read it all if you missed it.

Jim Lehrer : I looked at the public opinion polls the last, recent ones that mention you. And you don't come out very well in terms of the public. I couldn't find one where the public had approved of the job you were doing, less than 50 percent. Does that bother you?

Rummy: If you look where the news media is, it's down very low at the polls. If you want to get into public opinion polls, people in that business are right down near the bottom. You know that. Yeah, does it bother you? JIM LEHRER: They didn't expect 2,100 Americans to die. They didn't expect 16,000 to be wounded. Rummy: The number of people who have been killed in action in Iraq is 1,664. It's a lot. The number of people who have died over there are another 446. The number of people who have been wounded are 16,000. Of those, 8,500 went back in to their posts, back to duty within 48 or 72 hours. Now that's just a little refinement on what you said.
