The press is turning

[rniel]

Just watched how they showed the president's moment talking with the troops was scripted, rehearsed with hand picked troops asking him the questions.

Everyone here knows this is how they have been doing it for years now, but I've never seen it reported till now. I guess now that his poll numbers are down this low the press feels safe enough to report fairly again. Something wierd's goin on.

4. Weird maybe ....

We all now that the main stream media is backed by corporate advertisers that support the Bush administration.

If the media reports the wrong thing then the advertiser threaten to pull out.

Its all about ratings. Every news outlet wants the public to view their channel. With Bush's polls being down this is news that will boost the medias ratings (more people will watch). So the way I see it maybe the advertisers have now switched against Bush because they want their advertisement on the channel that the most people watch.

5. Very odd. Wonder what is happening.

More rats jumping ship? Even the media rats?
Something is up.

6. Reminds me of sharks feeding.

I think they smell blood in the water and are trying to get ahead of the curve, to mix metaphors.
