For all that have speculated how the MSM will report this election---

A bunch of years ago a Dallas Cowboy football players, Michael Irvin got in some trouble with girls and drugs. It was while he was still playing so the local news people were glued to the guy---he couldn't go anywhere without a news camera in his face.

Well, one of the charges against him was false and he knew it, but with all of the previous bad publicity no one would believe him and the media just hounded him.

One day, he turned around when a cameraman was following him and he pointed at the media and said,"I hope, when I am found innocent of these charges, you will report THAT with the same intensity as you have been reporting the false charges. The very same intensity, you hear me?"

I'll never forget it, and I wish Bush would say something to that effect if this goes well---tell the press to report the successes in Iraq with the same INTENSITY as the so-called failures!

I remember that clearly. Great analogy. Can't say that I thought I'd see Mike Irvin on this thread! Hope he gets into the Hall next week...
