Survey Finds Most Support Staying in Iraq
So what's all the fuss about?

BM = Big Media

The problem--and the reason for the misperceptions--is the fact that, typically, BigMedia will spike the President's speech, then report their own BM interpretation of every perceived wart and pimple in the speech.

As we know, the BM interpretation will be spun six ways to Sunday in order to vilify the hated President Bush (OK, he's only loathed by 90-95% of BM).

So when President repeatedly speaks of the long, arduous, vicious battles ahead, BM reports some long-ago sound-bite from VPCheney that is presented to suggest to the uninformed that the administration said it was going to be a cakewalk.

BM--aptly named.

Things are moving well over there as any secound deployment will tell you. Even those finishing their first tour see that...

The Washington Pus actually wrote this? I can almost hear the tone of astonishment jumping off the page.

T-Bubba, thanks for "producing" another new acronym to describe not only the LameStreamMedia, but an accurate description of their "product".

I am sick and tired of polls. Our country is not run by the way the biased media conducts its polls, but by LEADERS AND WE HAVE A GREAT LEADER. Why don't the pollsters poll what people think about Ted Kennedy and his bunch obstructing every thing the President tries to do. Why not tzke a poll to see how many thought the Clinton's visit to Billy Graham's crusade was not politically motivated. LET'S ROLL and tell it the way it is.

I agree that part of the public opinion problem, insofar as there is one, is that few people actually listen to the President's speeches. They rely on the media soundbite version & we who do listen to him know that they always misquote him, and misquote him repeatedly even after being corrected, so that eventually everyone believes he said something he never said.

WHAT 'President's claims that impressive gains are being made against the insurgency'? Once again, the MSM set up a false premise adn then try to knock it down. Who lies?

Right on #7. Enough to make you hurl. I agree. Libs keep believing these things though.

Love that BigMedia (BM) handle. It has been such fun, listening to the BM this morn, trying to insulate all of the sheeple about just what the Prez will say - and trying so doggone hard to be sure that the sheeple listen instead to what THEY'RE saying, as they are truly afraid that the folks may listen to our President! (Oh no, they daren't!) Imagine Tim Russert - heard him opine this morning, as he was feeling so IN CHARGE of all things: WHAT THE PRESIDENT SHOULD SAY is..............gobbledy-gook, etc. They all make me sick!

"I agree that part of the public opinion problem, insofar as there is one, is that few people actually listen to the President's speeches."

And few people are getting the whole story from the MSM -- bad news is good news to the MSM, even if they have to manufacture it.

There is a lot of good news coming out of Iraq and Afghanistan -- but you have to read Arthur Chrenkoff to know it.

Check out the trivia question. The new HQ will be 250 sq ft with 40 work stations?

Did'ya notice how they managed to pull in the famous Downing Street Memos into a story that was completely unrelated?

The Democrats and their co-conspiritors in the MSM (actually I agree BM is more descriptive and accurate) have been trying desparately to get traction on those bogus memos - to no avail.

Apparently not all of America is as dumb as they seem to think.

Just another one of the daily (hourly?) exhibits of the complete lack of bias in the MSM.

I wish there was a diplomatic way for President Bush to tell the media and the dems to bug off and let us finish this before the terrorists hit us again from within. "Bite me." comes to mind.

# 7 - The non-politically motivated Clinton-Graham lovefest happened because the Protestants don't have a Holy Father who showed people how to go home to Jesus. There won't be a bank safe going to the grave when Graham leaves us - his Jesus loves you, send money industry will take care of the empire. OTOH, John Paul left nothing but a rich legacy.

In 3+ years of waging war on our terms we have lost 2000 military personel. In 3 hours of allowing our enemies to wage war on thier terms we lost 3000 civilians. God bless our military.

In other words, the headlines in the New York Times and the other liberal media newspapers and tv outlets with their fake polls and spin DO NOT MATCH the actualy opinion and desire of the vast majority of the American people.

====================
I guess that could work, but only if they stacked them up like Hollywood Squares but would have to be 6 tiers high to fit 40 workstations into 250 sq ft.
I suggest the BM do some FACT CHECKING for a change.

All these polls saying the American people don't like the way GW is handling the war lead me to ask: What do YOU suggest? Just what would YOU do? How do YOU want him to handle it? I expect a loud silence.

Will the alphabet news nets carry the President's speech in it's totality; part of it; sound bites, or not at all?

Last I heard, the networks were NOT going to cover the speech tonight. If they don't, that tells me they don't want the American people to hear or see what's REALLY happening on the war front.

But...but...just this morning I saw old Joe LIEberman on Ye Olde Media TV stations saying we had all grown tired of this war. So it must be true, right?

Liberals....it must suck being them.

1. Any idiot who uses the "attack the librul media" tack loses me right away

The librul media that was in bed with the Frat Boy during the run up to the war.

The librul media that didn't question any of the fixed facts.

The librul media that ran Judy Miller's fiction on the front page.

The librul media that danced with pom-poms in miniskits and GWB sweaters.

Give me a break.

2. interesting. These people are just so delusional

And, I must inquire, if things are going so well yet recruiting is so low, why don't they sign up? Especially considering the bonuses that are being offered right now!
