In case you did not know, the US media spins only oneway, and that's to the left. Damage by that spin, however is always a function of the length of time they can keep the public's eyes on their balls! When a President is already unpopular or marginally so, the media can spin until enough damage is done to ruin an administration's effectivness. To be sure, if the president is liberal, the scandal must be enormous in order to make the mediacrats start even a mild spin. But whether conservative or liberal, even the ALL POWERFUL MEDIA can't really do any lasting damage to a popular president.
And if you haven't noticed, Dubya is VERY popular. This is just about over.

I pray to god that you are right in your estimation, but as a realist, I also know that if a lie is repeated often enough, by enough people, it can become the thruth, sort of. There are of course many of us, who will be forever immune to this assault of the thruth, because we understand, and know the media's agenda. Unfortunately we are the minority. The culture of America is changing, and I'm afraid not for the better, at least before 9/11. But perhaps, because of 9/11 the culture could undergo a revival. But then again, I could be wistling in the dark.
