Bush “Divisive,” But Dean a Uniter Who “Brings People Together”

George W. Bush campaigned in 2000 as a “uniter, not a divider.” But in what may be a preview of the prism through which the networks will see the 2004 presidential campaign, ABC’s Terry Moran on Sunday described Bush as a divider, labeling him a “divisive President” and a “divisive figure.” CBS’s Bob Schieffer similarly portrayed Bush as a divider, calling him “a polarizing politician,” but Schieffer hailed Democratic candidate Howard Dean as a uniter. Schieffer trumpeted how Dean “is a hit at this point” because “he seems to be the first Democrat who's found a way to bring new people into the process here. He's found a new kind of participatory politics....Dean has gone into the Internet and begun to bring people together.”

....Maybe that’s at least partly attributable to how the news media portray his <Bush's> policies and hold him, not those who dislike him, responsible for how some dislike him....

“Bummest Rap” to Clift: Dean as “An Out of Mainstream Liberal”

In the McLaughlin Group’s 22nd annual “Year-End Awards” issued on the show aired over the weekend, Newsweek’s Eleanor Clift declared that describing Howard Dean as “an out of the mainstream liberal” was the “Bummest Rap” of the year, contended that how the Bush administration “manipulated evidence to build a case for an unnecessary war” earned her nod for the “Fairest Rap” and for “Capitalist of the Year” she expressed gratitude to George Soros “for dedicating $15 million to defeat Bush.”
