George Bush is on the TV absolutely too much...

[kentuck]

And the cable networks feel obligated to spread his bullshit everyday. It doesn't have to be newsworthy - most of the time it is not. He could come out and say "I'm ready to take a shit now" and they would have a roundtable afterwards to discuss whether or not he had diarrhea. These cable networks need to show a little independence and take their jobs more seriously. They are not there to promote the White House - they are there to question. Because the job of the media is to be skeptical and question those in authority.

1. Oh, silly you

the job of the media is to be skeptical and question those in authority.

The job of media is now to deliver maximum return to shareholders.

I kid you not: At one newspaper where I worked, the corporate bigwigs came to visit, gathered us all in the lobby, and began their presentation by saying exactly that.

Fortunately, that company is no longer in the newspaper business.

2. I am surprised they didn't interupt Bush to

tell us that Madonna has a headache. You hti it right on the head- they do promote the Administraion, they never question it. Didn't Reagan have something to do with this with his "Fairness in Media" act or something?

3. Overexposure is a good thing.

I hope we see him have a nervous breakdown live....

4. OMG -- that would be a dream come true!! I don't mean to wish

bad things upon people but in shrub's case, I will make an exception!!

Somehow, shrub's nervous breakdown would be Clinton's fault.

5. i think we all knew raygun was senile while in office...

but i think the shrub has his nervous breakdows in private. i'd like to see a ctscan of his brain. that could explain alot.:shrug:

6. "raygun" -- I love it -- never heard that before !

[Old and In the Way]

7. That was quite a popular nick for RR way back when...

Actually, IIRC, there's an audio reference made on either Woodstock or Monterray Pops.

8. it was woodstock

i can't remember who said it, but he was gov. of california at the time. someone called him ronald raygunzap:silly:

[LiberalFighter]

9. Even if he doesn't have a nervous breakdown it is a good thing...

The more he is on the boob tube the more people will probably get disgusted with him.

Especially if he is on at the wrong times. Sporting events, favorite shows, etc.
