Poor Peter Jennings. Trying desperately in vain to get a focus group to say something negative about Bush following his speech last night. Unfortunately, for poor Peter, he failed completely in his desperate effort to mine something....ANYTHING negative out of that focus group.

How many people thought the President deserves his more than 80 percent approval rating?
What an odd question. What does "deserve" have to do with anything?

Did he accuse the focus group of throwing a temper tantrum (ala the '94 elections)?

To me, this is a non-issue (your title emphasis, that is). Who cares if they're trying to "get people to say something negative about Bush?"
What're you gonna do--fly an airplane into 30 Rock or whatever they call that place?
To me the more interesting aspect of this article is that Jennings was trying to play up Enron. I listened to the speech last night on NPR (sorry, I was listening to classical music when they broke in with the SOTU).
There also, the commentators including the ever-present radical Leftist Daniel Schorr, yammered on about Enron, NOT ONCE making reference to the fact that the Democrats have MUCH more to lose if Enron is dragged out by the VLWC, than the Republicans do.
I hope Rush Limbaugh's correct: That this is going to blow up right in McAuliffe's face.

The morning "news" shows are still slinging the Enron mud--hoping it will stick.
Enron = quagmire--for the media! They are stuck in it.

I started off watching Peter Jennings, but couldn't hear what was going on for Jennings talking over it. I switched over to NBC to watch the rest of the State of the Union Address.

Who cares if they're trying to "get people to say something negative about Bush?" I thought it was humorous how disappointed Jennings was over the positive reaction to the Bush speech. Hey, if you don't like the headline title then you should have posted this story with the "correct" title.

I'm afraid they will have some success with the Bush Recession BS tho. Very few realize that this is just the fraudulent economy of the 90's finally having to address reality.

Not that I don't doubt this was his intention, but what about this. Jennings was asking these questions to show the us that Bush IS doing a good job and he wants to keep Bush's high support going?

It was seriously skewed last night and this morning on ABC. I was so blown away by Jenning's crap and had to see the if the dung would continue to be shoveled on GMA. Of course, DashELF was the main guest who followed Staphilococous and some other reporter. Enron, the 'current' deficit?, Is the Prez being realistic, he is popular but the domestic issues are really starting to worry the american people, it could be trouble.
Jennings had egg on his face after all of the Tampa panel was unanimously in favor of everything Bush. St. Louis was another story. Leading questions from the reporter that really made those on the panel lean to the negative. Jenny's last question was can the President fight the war on terrorism and still win the war on domestic issues. Really negative. Only one guy raised his hand and thought he could do it.

What an odd question. What does "deserve" have to do with anything?Good question. When the penis-in-chief was in hot water, HIS approval ratings weren't questioned (if ever there were a time to question them...), but they were used as ammunition to "prove" this wasn't a legitimate issue to concern the Congress.
To: PJ-Comix
Why does anybody watch that anti-American crumb?

As far as Enron goes, it will be a problem for Republicans, if the media have any say about it. And they do.

It was not a question -- it was a statement.
Ah, OK. Apparently the question mark threw me off.
Jennings' "statement": "How many people thought the President deserves his more than 80 percent approval rating?"
To: Asclepius
My point was that he was making a statement. I can read as well as you can.
To: Texbob
My question, too.
To: PJ-Comix
A liberal press grows ever more desperate.
And shrill.

You are going to have to come up with some way to watch Fox rather than all those Clinton networks.
