Why is the press going after Rove? |
|
Are they blaming him for one of their own going to jail?

1. He's the one who's been giving them their daily talking points |
|
Since this issue concerns him, he hasn't been able to distribute them on this topic. In the absence of direction, the press has just sort of been milling about on their own, looking for something entertaining to report on.

Enough people are talking about it, so they know there'll be ratings out of it. Also, it's July... usually nothing big (but hurricanes) happens in July. If this was a go-nowhere story, they'd still be ignoring it.
Just my opinion. The media in this country, by and large, suck.

4. The Press folk are controlled by their bosses. |
|
The got the memo that Rove is a good story for the moment. The Corp. Media is about ratings and ad dollars.

7. The lies from 2003 are just too obvious now |
|
Even Rove's lawyer has now directly contradicted McClellan's 2003 statement that Rove told him he was not involved.

It always amazes me that they ALL cover or TOTALLY IGNORE the same exact stories!
Like they all get their orders from the exact same entity!

10. Miller is in jail. Some of them dont know she is a media whore. |

They think she is a martyr and that Rove nailed her to the cross.
Of course, the press is outraged.
Hmmm, maybe this is Miller's revenge against Rove?
