"Weekend at Bernie's" where the dead guy is being propped up to look good and like everything is ok?

1. No, Bernie was way cooler than Bush
especially when he was dead.

2. More like "wag the dog"
It's more than bias - they are active participants.

And btw, has that movie aired on TV recently? Hmmmmmm.

3. Funny!
I loved that movie.

Yes, to answer your question. I noticed during Aaron Brown's show last night, how delicately John King was tiptoeing around the truth while covering the bush campaign. He was just bending himself into a pretzel to avoid coming straight out and saying the things he would certainly be saying if he were covering the Kerry campaign and Kerry was trending downward. But MAN-OH-MAN was he putting a happy face on it. Everybody he interviewed from the campaign was doing the same thing and he was just trotting along with it, not bringing an ounce of objectivity in, hardly any references to what's really been happening out there in the last three weeks or so.

4. It's kinda like a reverse Groundhog Day, where the more the voters
relive the same old crap the LESS informed and MORE ignorant and inddignant they become and 1,000,000 times more irritating!!
