When Will The Press Start Referring To Bush as an "UNPOPULAR PRESIDENT"
Remember when his approval's were high, it was always "This popular President blah blah blah". They always qualified him as "popular".

I won't hold my breath.

3. Don't know.
Only a couple of months ago I was listening to the radio and I heard a news blurb and they called him "our most beloved president". I almost had a stroke.

4. There are legal issues.
Many computer games have to call Barry Bonds "SF Left Fielder" because you have to license the use of his name and image.

"America's Popular Wartime President™" is a registered trademark, all rights reserved, of the Republican National Committee.

You can't call Junta Boy anything else in print without getting involved in an intellectual-property-law quagmire.

5. But I thought the press had a liberal bias?
Oh, it's so confusing (sarc). The press is terrified to be on the wrong side of Bush and Rove because if they get cut off they'll have to do some actual investigative journalism rather than pass on the propaganda verbatim.

6. The term "President" implies that he was actually elected.

7. When we get a Press back.
No this psuedo media propaganda shows we have now. What does it take to start a newspaper or tv station. I do hear some local stations do real news still. The ones in vegas seem to talk about a lot more than the networks, although no one is digging deep.
