This isn't at all about defending President Bush; it is about attacking the media for their bias, which covers not only how they cover President Bush, but the Catholic Church, stay-at-home moms, Republican conservatives in Congress, gay rights, and the Supreme Court.
Why NOT expose the bias of the media? Why not use this story (not as important as some) to continue to keep the issue of media bias in the public eye?
And if you support the War on Terror and the President in his Commander-in-Chief role, perhaps you should consider that media coverage of the war has been VERY skewed and is hampering the prosecution of the war.
And why aren't you on the murdered pastor thread telling people that this isn't an issue we should be discussing on FR? I mean, that doesn't have to do with immigration reform or out-of-control spending, either.
Nope. You only show up on threads in which people are defending the President or discussing him in a positive manner. It seems to me that your interest is NOT in discussing conservative issues UNLESS you can use those issues to attack the President.
And I am not going to apologize for supporting the President, nor am I going to allow you to cow me with your continues inferences and insults.
As usual, you don't want any discussion of Bush`s failings. Period. So be as outraged and upset as you want to be. Makes no diffrence to me. Btw, if this article was about Mike Pence, I'd reach the same conclusion.
I've known the media to have a liberal bias for 40 years. Nixon didn't handle the media very well and he paid the ultimate price in the end. Reagan was a master of handling the media most of the time, and it paid off for him in the long run. All President's have the Bully Pulpit and its a major tool for getting their message out to the American people. The Bush administration believes ignoring the media is the way to go. LOL I call that a prescription for failure. Frankly, Bush&Company have done the worst job of getting their message out to America, then any administration in my lifetime. And that starts with Ike.
