You're still confusing the "media" with the "people," and now equating the "media" with the "world."

The media doesn't run the world, although it tries, and has a lot of influence -- way too much, if you ask me.

This country sways world opinion more than any other. I don't see the world boycotting U.S. products. To the contrary, I see people boycotting French products because of their outlandish views and trade with Hussein.

Leadership doesn't mean succumbing to the whims of the media or even public opinion when you've got to do what's right.

Now, as Dr. Laura would say, "Go out there and do the right thing."
