Z, > Were those cases of the media manufacturing stories or of someone tipping the media off to these stories at an opportune time and the media biting on them?

In those two cases, the media was actively trying to pursue those stories because the "opportune times" for breaking those stories were at hand.

LA Times collected up the Gropenator allegations, then sat on them for a few months until just a week before the CA recall election. It was plain and obvious that they wanted to make the biggest impact they could.


Look, naive one, there were rumors/stories long before your gropenator governor ran for office. It was nothing new......the media simply took advantage of it when he ran for governor. He was a typical movie star believing that every woman wanted him and when they didn't, he got a little forceful.

As for the Bush situation, its all true.........Bush was a national guard slacker. CBS simply screwed it up. And they were revealing his lack of character in order to protect the nation and its democracy. If you weren't so caught up protecting your boys, you would be praising their efforts.
