I honestly beleive that the main reason Bush was able to pull this off was because of their timidity in reporting issues that were important. There was no real questioning of the war. The lack of WMDs, the fact that Osama was still on the loose. They also just were so quick to spout the Roveian talking points and paint JK as a flip flopper. How aggrevating was that-that every poll asked the question-which candidate was more steadfast. It just served to reinforce that caricature in peoples minds. I didnt see any questions about Bush's lying did you
I think our call to action should be to straighten these people out. Do not let them get away with anything. They really have to starting reporting the news rather than regurgitating every thing that Bushco feeds them!
