If Bush's negative numbers get high enough, is there any chance the media

would FINALLY give the Democrats some television air time?

But they might actually report on a missing little black girl somewhere for a change.

4. No, they'll be too busy covering

the next terrorist attack or the war in Iran or whatever other diversion Bush comes up with to make them forget about his poll numbers.

5. When the zeitgeist of the nation becomes..

... "this is all Bush**'s fault", you watch, the media will turn on him like a best friend caught in bed with their woman.

Maybe not Fox, but damn near everyone else.

They will instead pump their whoring and *** kissing to new levels, and do whatever it takes to improve their boy's numbers.

8. I Don't Think So

The media used to have a liberal bias, but after the 1964 election the conservatives began a concerted effort to take control. By the time of Regan The media was and continues to be controlled by the right wingers.

9. Not unless they have another puppet

that they think can take his place that could get better ratings. At that point, if Bush's numbers deteriorate too much, I think they would drop him like a hot potato - he could easily come up with some health problems.

10. That would be unlikely ...

as the mass media are owned by war-profiteering corporations.

11. No

The man could screw sheep on the front yard of the White House
in front of Girl Scouts and as long as he dropped a "Jesus" on the way
out his followers would be fine with him.

"Did you see the way that ewe attacked the Presidents unit?"

Fox news.

13. If they do give us any more airtime,

it will still be in a negative light. MSM will spin it to make us look like we're gloating.

17. They are owned by Republicans--literally.

I'm afraid Bush's numbers could drop into the teens and they still would
not go after him seriously.

No way in hell. They'd pump up the whore even more with pro-Bush people on saying "love our dear leader or you're screwed!"
