The Media Whores are Gushing about Bush's "Comeback"
All this asshole has to do is roll up his sleeves, shed his tie, and give a bullshit speech in front of a bullshit backdrop for the MSM to get on their knees again.

How do they sleep at night?

35. I believe the strategy for the corpwhorate owned MSM
is to say it first, even if the evidence is to the contrary. They will then continue to drumbeat false information regarding the impostor in chief's "uptick" until the *people on the margin begin to believe it. They used this same strategy in their war against Gore when they brainwashed a sizable segment of the population in to believing that Al actually claimed to have invented the internet.

*people on the margin: are the ones living in the matrix created by the corpwhorate owned MSM. They are about as curious as Bush about world affairs and still tend to trust the corpwhorate owned MSM to tell them something close to the truth.

11. name names? there is no movement in that direction that I am
seeing right now since his poll numbers do not allow for this spin and Iraq is not helping either.

3. Comeback? Not according to the polls
The latest AP-Ipso shows him tanking like the others have, and that poll is entirely post-NO speech.

Haven't seen any objective signs of comeback.

9. the news
apparently right wing news is losing viewers daily. People have lost the stomach for the blatant lies. Air America is on the move. :)

Glad you're here.

There is no comeback. This may be it, folks. They're whistling past a graveyard. The polls tell it. I think the well's been poisoned.

And it's not just the polls, either. It's people (who have NOT been polled) who are writing in, and getting their emails read on the air. Enjoy:

10. What nonsense. Completely lacking in substance.
Back to business as usual. His "comeback." WTF exactly is that supposed to mean? Does it have to mean anything for them to parrot this Rep. talking point and lame attempt at perception management?

13. Furiously pumping air into that leaky zeppelin
You will notice, though, that the most assiduous puffers are folks who couldn't quite get within 1,000 miles of Gulf Coast. The reporters who were actually there (Anderson Cooper, for example) haven't quite fallen to their knees yet.

Boy, do I miss Media Whores Online.

16. If its people like Wolf Blitzer, anyone from
Fox or Tweety, that doesn't count as far as I am concerned.

19. I agree. If it's from CNN/FOX/MSGOP then it's just the right wing...
saying that. If it's CBS, NBC, ABC, newspapers, saying this than that is "mediawhoredom".

17. Media Whoredom appears to be making a comeback.
Bush, however, is still a piece of shit.

20. comeback
I don't think a comeback will cut it this time; he'll need a full-fledged resurrection.

Edited on Tue Sep-20-05 02:34 PM by FreedomAngel82
:eyes: LOL, this morning on Stephanie Miller's show I was listening to a good bit of it and heard them talking about the poll raitings and the like and they suggested he'd get a blow horn like on 9/11 and perhaps that'd help. The voice guy was doing his Bush impressions and playing around with the blow horn. LOL it was hilarious. You'd have to listen to the archives (stephaniemiller.com).

The whores must have missed their own coverage of the hurricane. The curtain has been pulled back and the wizard exposed for the naked idjit he is.

25. Actually, I'm witnessing the opposite
But I don't watch Fox, CNN or MSNBC. However, the morning papers have Bush down even farther in the polls and the local news here (DC) continue to talk about the Chimp's plunging numbers and how this will play out with Congressional Repukes. The intrigue is how the Repukes will desert their Chimpish Leader in order to best position themselves for the 06 and 08 elections. That should be the story and we should have every Democratic Rep and Sen and Talking Head driving this point home......

26. It was Scarborough and Fucker Carlson
David Brooks is pushing this narrative, too. It's a response to his big speech in New Orleans -- the one that's going to "save his presidency."

The papers and non-Cable mediawhores are NOT 'whoring it up' for Bush anymore.

28. Most of the media doesn't appear to be doing that.
Of course, there are the morons like Blitzer, but much of the media seems to be focusing on the fact that Bush's photo ops and speech aren't doing anything for his numbers.

30. They also say that Bush gave a weak speech.
That's good to see that most of the media admits that.

Tweety, Wolf, Tucker/Sucker/Scarbourough, etc... are just shit.

31. Just remember.
BUSH SUCKS
WHERE IS FEMA. The Media Whores should be ashamed of themselves, especially since they know we all know how much Pinhead** has sucked with regard to Katrina and his lack of action early on, and continuing lack of response. It's just one big photo op for Pinhead** And the Media Whores know that. Shame on them!

32. "Bush's comeback" is just a new talking point
Edited on Tue Sep-20-05 04:02 PM by Downtown Hound
one that they hope if they repeat enough times, it will start to become true. It's not working, most of the rest of the media isn't playing along for once.

34. Time Magazine is already speculating
that Kozlowski of Tyco fame may have been sentenced too harshly, and that would probably apply to other white collar criminals. I think this is all part of the same package. The American People had better wake up fast or all that has been put out for them will be obfuscated by the corpwhorate owned MSM.
