<<I agree with you limtex, for once. This is not the time to be critical of the president. I certainly had reservations myself – like a majority of Europeans did – but that was then. >>I <<Here is today's Sixty Second Activist ACTION ITEM: ISSUE: According to the Media Research Center (www.mediaresearch.org), major media, including the Washington Post and ABC News, have launched a full-scale spin war against President Bush following the attack on our nation. Newsmax.com reports that already, liberal media outlets have been raising questions about President Bush's taking a circuitous route back to Washington from Florida after being informed of Tuesday's terrorism. Liberal columnist Mary McGrory, in Thursday's Washington Post, stated that George W. Bush "could not find the beat... He allowed himself to be hauled about the country like a fugitive to bunkers at Air Force bases in Louisiana and Nebraska." She proclaimed that Bush "flunked" this country's test: "he says he believes in education and he has three years to take a makeup exam in leadership." In an exchange on ABC TV between correspondent Claire Shipman and anchor Peter Jennings on Wednesday night, Shipman implied that the White House is "eager" to put forth the report that the White House and Air Force One were targeted in order to divert attention from President Bush's "spend[ing] his day yesterday flying around the country instead of coming straight back to Washington." Jennings noted "we're all pretty skeptical and cynical about Washington." Tom Brokaw, interviewing Gen. Schwarzkopf, implied that the Bush administration was negligent in not getting actively involved in the Mideast peace process while all the violence was going on. And Dan Rather introduced President Bush before he addressed the nation in the middle of this emergency by saying, "No matter how you feel about him, he is still our president." There are others as well: Newsweek's Howard Fineman moaned about Bush's flight on Air Force One and criticized him for not winning the popular vote; Newsday's Ellis Henican, asking if we "have a president too nervous to work live"; Maureen Dowd at the NY Times, complaining that reporters "weren't sure where the president was"; and ABC's Mark Halperin insisted that, if reporters aren't informed of every little detail of this war, they aren't "likely - nor should they be expected - to show such deference for long." As Newsmax.com stated, "even in time of crisis when Americans are rallying around the President of the United States, cheap-shot politics seems to live on in some quarters." ACTION ITEM: Patriotic Americans are supporting President Bush ONE HUNDRED PERCENT. It's time we let the liberal media and their talking heads know that. Contact the major media outlets NOW and let them know how outraged we are that they would engage in such cheap-shot politics against the leader of the free world, at a time when we need to stand by his leadership.
