Yeah, but Bush still got his way LOL.
And guess what? Because Bush didn't give the networks the overt fight they wanted (thus conserving his energy for meeting with soldiers, generals,forming good relationships with heads of state, etc.) the MSM's ratings tanked over the last 8 years and they lost money.
In the meantime the alternative media was thriving. I say Bush is crazy like a fox.
Bush missed an opportunity. And that was a consensus on FR.
