its hard to expect the public to research or watch the news to come to their own conclusions... Last night one of the guests had Halliburton in trouble because they had Arthur Anderson as auditor... These guys are running around slandering the vp without base. I experienced this during early seventies(oil shortage) with news people. They wanted headlines for the nightly news. They did not care if it was correct or not.. They didn't want to take the time to listen only get a picture of sensation for the night news slot and put some words to it ... I would tell the guy that is incorrect.. His response I don't care!

Reported approval ratings are meaningless drivel. They were drivel when Clinton was President and continue to be so today. Mass Media Hypocrisy: Clinton's Approval Ratings were as High as GDubya's The media has become nothing more than GWBush's personal mouthpiece, without even a modicum of unbiased reporting. Dan Rather, Tom Brokaw and their ilk continually report that Bush's high approval ratings are unprecedented. However, their continual blathering about Bush's popularity represents nothing close to the truth, with no real basis in fact. In January 1999, immediately after his State of the Union address, President Clinton's approval ratings remained high, reaching an astounding 81% approval rating on or about January 20, 1999. (Gallup Poll, as reported by the Associated Press). Those numbers represented a nine point rise from his December 1998 approval ratings which stood at an amazingly high 73% even after the rabid republican right wing passed the politically motivated articles of impeachment. (Associated Press, December 28, 1998.) The media remains untrustworthy. They push Bush upon us as if he were one of their own. Perhaps he is. After all, today's media giants are controlled by today's corporate giants which continually seek and offer Bush favors. gwbushwatch.com
