Because MSM's job is to provide propaganda for the Reich, not to report the news. Not that they ever did much of the latter anyway. frame, reporting any number that reflects on cons badly is evidence of liberal bias, you know that, right?

How many times does that non-story have to be ballyhooed before its understood for what it is: an effort on the part of the MSM to get Bush." Did you have a problem with the media regularly reporting Bush's record high approval ratings in the aftermath of 9-11? How many times did I have to hear that Bush was at a 90 percent approval rating after he took a bold stand ona pile of rubble? Was the media trying to "get Bush" when it touted again and again that he was the kind of guy people wanted to have a beer with (despite the fact that he's a supposedly recovered alcoholic)? Public opinion is a dynamic thing, it changes in response to events as they occur. It also happens to be an election year. The public's attitude toward Bush and the Republican leadership impacts election strategies at every level. The Bush administration is desperately trying to turn public opinion around before November and reporting poll numbers is part of that story. “Bush s poll numbers are low.

Does that mean they endorsed him in '04? Didn't think so. And the reason these articles about the shortcomings of Democrats are so common is because given the current popularity of Bush and both houses of congress (which is pathetically low), it is probably assumed by a lot of people that the Dems are gonna sweep control of both houses this November. As it turns out, that is highly unlikely, and the post is merely illustrating why. And the reason why, is because of no message and a dumb, racist moron running the DNC.

But, OTOH, I don't think Bush's poll numbers are a story but once or twice. Why not commission a poll every two hours and let the MSM cut in with 'breaking news'. Its the same non-story: Bush's poll numbers are low. How many times does that non-story have to be ballyhooed before its understood for what it is: an effort on the part of the MSM to get Bush. Dugger, once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, three times is enemy action I’m not sure if Democratic party disarray is much of a story either.
