I wouldn't worry about it too much. I mean, who watches MSNBC?

Yup. Go after 'em and put 'em on the defensive. We are making alot of progress against the terrorists, but you wouldn't know it by watching CBS or CNN. Nevermind what the news says, ask the people who have been there and have had their mission completely misrepresented by the liberal press and liberal politicians. Our troops are kickin' butt! When was the last hit against us? I say keep 'em busy over there!

EXACTLY!!!\n\nThere is a story circulating right now about the Bush administration, ONCE AGAIN, violating privacy laws by getting access to all banking/financial transactions; although, they claim to have only looked at international transactions. They have the authority to do this BUT not until they go before a judge and get approval. Of course with Bush not believing in the consitution, he did not do that = broke the law AGAIN!!\n\nNow, to counter this Bush has been bombarding talk radio and Fox News (even saw an upset guy on pbs The Newshour yesterday about it) with propaganda that does not explain the entire story as I did in the first paragraph. \n\nTheir defense is we are in a 'war on terror'. So, basically because we are in a war on terror, they believe they can ignore all the laws and ppl's right to privacy, etc...\n\nSo, as you stated... with them attacking the press for reporting this story.. there goes freedom of speech and the press.\n\nBtw, the laws about a reporter revealing his/her source are very vague. A reporter does have the right to tell his/her source but most don't because that hinders ppl from wanting to tell them things later. I personally think that if someone tells a reporter something and the act of telling is in itself breaking the law then the reporter SHOULD be required to tell his/her source. IE, this Carl Rove thing about the CIA agent leak. We all know he was behind that but the reporter won't tell.

because the president didnt listen to the people that are telling him that this is a losing battle yesterday on the abc, cbs, and nbc news, a story appeared about how bush was told, by his own hand picked generals, that the war is going badly, and he immeditaly went in to a prees conference and said the exact oppisit. bush is a perenial liar he should be shot. republicans have no one else to blame for this fiasco but themselves

Welcome to the Information age. Media coverage of every thing around the clock, non stop...along with Natalie Halloway, and Lacy Peterson, the coverage of this administration has made the media (US media) the largest, most impecable beast of broadcasting journalism out there in the modern world.\n\nNow your question: Why George Bush II? \na.) He's the president\nb.) He's been very rude, secretive and of late rather hasty towards any sort of critisim of his cabinet members or his policies...\n(you can do that, but don't try to tell the media not to do that, it appears to be erasing 1st amendment rights)\nc.) He's had quite a few mistakes, and a much greater impact on internal as well as external well being as a result of his mistakes.\n\nLastly, the media realizes they were pestering Clinton and feeding into the Congressional Republicans bigotry, they were trying to impeach Clinton because he lied about a BLOW JOB. Why? \n\nNow, there's Bush who wasn't legit' elected the first time, started two wars, one's in ruins, he's got corruption traced to the heart of his administration, he's got the third worst 2nd term approval rating of any president, he's got ties to Abramoff, he screwed us up at Orleans...\n\nApparently, they've learned their lesson. The media isn't going to suck up to the Congress anymore, but then again why would they, the Republican held Houses have a overall approval rating of only 32%!!!!

There are many examples like this.  It is actually just the "hate Bush no matter what crowd" that is getting all the negative press.  Unfortunately too many people aren't able to look past their emotions and the media networks know this and they play to it.  If these same people were offered unbiased views (including all the good that is going on) they would have different opinions.  I personally think that it is scary that too many people are willing to believe what they are spoonfed on the nightly "news" instead of sitting back and looking critically at the issue.  Saddam Hussein has always been a threat to stability in the region and the rest of the world.  If Clinton had gone in no one would have said boo just like Bosnia and Kosovo.

The vehemence with which the "loyal" opposition has opposed George Bush from the moment he won the nomination to the very present is not in any way normal behavior for a group or class of people. It seems to me there is a link-step mentality at play whereby no righteous democrat can admit the right of President Bush to his office. This is a dangerous thing. This hatred has tainted the entire country aided by the media and the talking heads of the left as they spread the notion that Bush is not  legitimate. People who do not analyze the source or content of the news they receive take it at face value and their perception is skewed against Bush, the War in Iraq, and just about anything else the democrats in their angry rant to regain power broadcast against the President. These same individuals then are not just cry babies-- twice defeated by what they consider unfair elections-- they're a dangerous element in an open society where dissent is meant to have some purpose or reason other than vindication and self-aggrandizement. Should the democrats regain power in the next election, you can be sure the same people who did not fairly consider what they saw or read will rue the day. I believe that, for all of this hate, which must affect him, President Bush has been a "President of all the people," one who does not kowtow to pundits or polls, but knows in his own mind what to do for the people who he truly serves.

RIGHT ON POPS!!!\n\nI come here on a daily basis and I see all these posts made by the youth of this country who, through no fault of thier own, are victims of manipulation by the liberal media.\n\n"I hate Bush"..."He's (President Bush, I assume) is killing EVERYBODY (oh, really?)..."He's (the President, again) a liar!"  \n\nYou know, I don't even have a heart to get angry at comments like these anymore.  They're just parroting lies themselves, being spoon-fed disinformation by the media, who aren't even interested in un-biased reporting, but only interested in promoting their narrow interests, and will go as far as they need to accomplish their goals.\n\nI wish folks would wake up and not just willingly believe everything that the Big 3, and the rest of the liberal media tells them.\n\nAdded 1/21@1224 E.S.T.\n\nMs. Sparkles:\n\nYou've only reinforced exactly what I was saying.  Look who you're quoting...The Washington Post?!?  Please...talk about promoting an agenda!\n\nAl Gore lost the election SIX YEARS AGO...it's time folks begin to let it go, and get on with fixing the democratic party.  The dems and liberals at this point are really at danger of losing every bit of credibility they have...they already lost a lot to the likes of the Clintons and the others who are full of shrill rhetoric and hatred.\n\nWhen the democratic party and the current liberal hierarchy re-learn what true liberalism is about, that's when they'll get their house in order again.  The way things are going now...

Sigh.....Why do people have to be so critical of President Bush?Why dont you get of your butts and do some research.Do you really believe everything you see on the news becase if you do you need to wake and smell the political bias against him and the Republican Party.I mean if they really where fair and balanced why dont they show a country being liberated and being rebuilt?No it is chaos,civil war,destruction isnt it? I mean people act like he really wants the troops to stay over there and die which i believe no one wants Republicans,Democrats, Independants alike.

How come, a person who is crying because they are scared of what might happen, are calling liberals "wussies"?  \n\nI guess this is what happens when you continue to follow STUPID!\n\nBTW. . .WWJD?\n\nFarzand A:  It is a fact that "ALL MEDIA" is biased depending on ones particular view.  Which is why everyone and anyone should seek as many different sources possible to gain information.  \n\nI check many sources (using the Internet) to see through the eyes outside of this country, as it pretty obvious that every U.S. news station will tend to protect this nation (and it is understandable).  While our constitution states we have freedom of the press, the press is free to report the news as the owners see fit.  It does not guarantee that it has to be reported straight up and with no holds barred.\n\nToday the ignorant stay ignorant by choice, however, stupidity is a Birth Right and no amount of knowledge can help them. . .In this forum it is difficult to tell the two apart, and the whole concept that a 45 is the best solution,  proves my point.

haha "the Clinton days were better!!!"  hahahah\nI guess the pres gettin some action is seen as more positive than a war.  Anyway, I want to know who Pres Bush has peronally killed or given orders to kill... anybody? *crickets*  Yeah that's right, that's what I thought.  On the other hand Saddam gave orders for thousands and thousands to be killed (ok allegedly, friggin PC nazis).  \nso to answer the question, the aspect I hate is blind ignorant bashings that are fueled by Kool Aid drinkers and the  liberal mass media, who will not admit that THEY are the mass media and the real sheep here.

Does the current adminsitration (small 'a') pose any threat to the fourth estate? To a free press? I find it disingenuous to the point of imbecility that Bush & Co are "outraged" that the press is "out to get them". What did they think was going to happen?

I'm going to have to politely disagree on the grounds that the mainstream media, in Bush's corner, has deceived most everyone, in the US at least. Which isn't going to last forever, might I add.\n\nMountains of evidence supports that the "war on terror" is just a big farce!\n\nIf you have time, you may want to listen to some alternative views on what's actually going on:

YES I am tired of this.  I believe most Americans are as well, which is why FOX news (Fair and Balanced) is growing in leaps & bounds.  They dont "spin" and editorialize every story.\nWhen a true thinking senator like Joe Leiberman comes back from Iraq and reports on the progress and good things, he is discounted and attacked by the media and those in his own party.  How pathetic is that??\n\nYou are SO right on with your comments!!
