McCain Remains Bushss Top Nemesis Howie Fineman is revving up media support for another McCain run for President. I think McCain is also involved in the latest media assault on President Bush.
The Two Faces of George W Martha Brant is usually pretty fair to the President, but this article is not at all. I think she and Fineman colluded this week to diss President Bush.
Oh, and here is the blurb from some Live Talk feature on MSNBC. No bias there whatsoever...
From Enron to Global Crossing to WorldCom, the string of recent corporate scandals have cost thousands of Americans their jobs and some their life savings. For President George W. Bush, the risk is that a crisis in investor confidence could hurt his chances for a second term. On Tuesday, Bush headed to Wall Street to deliver a hard-hitting speech on corporate responsibility and accountability. Democrats, meanwhile, will bring an accounting-reform bill authored by Maryland Democrat and Senate Banking Chairman Paul Sarbanes to the Senate floor. Though Bush doesn't like the legislation, chances are he'll sign it. His newfound zeal for corporate reform coincides with the reemergence of ethical questions about his own corporate background and that of Vice President Dick Cheney. Halliburton, the Texas energy company that Cheney headed from 1995 to 2000, is under scrutiny for possible accounting irregularities, and reporters are dredging up embarrassing details about Bush's lucrative stint as a corporate officer of the failed Harken Energy Corp. Eleanor Clift joined us for a live talk to discuss Bush's speech and his efforts to restore investor (and constituent) confidence.
