Dean went after Bush for 30 minutes on MTP. Media does not mention that.

Maybe I am missing something obvious. I did a search expecting to see a lot made of some of his comments on MTP yesterday. There is one article from South Africa that says he attacks Bush policies.

http://www.news24.com/News24/World/News/0,,2-10-1462_1498091,00.html

Nearly every other article simply boils down the whole half hour to Dean supports Kerry now. I saw one or two with a mention of his Saddam comments. I saw a couple of others with mention of his war criticism boiled down to one paragraph.

It is as though the media is ignoring the 30 minutes as speaking against the Bush policies, and just turning his whole appearance into a Kerry campaign issue.

Maybe I missed something. Maybe ignoring his Bush comments is the best way to make them go away.

1. well, see, he was talking about issues

Our studies indicate that our target audience (18-50 year-old men with disposable incomes) is not interested in issues. So we just cover the horse race.

I am rather surprised he is not. It is amazing to me.

On edit, yes, he did a good job.

On the Today Show, Blix made comments eerily similar to what Dean was saying during the campaign (re: US not being any safer w/Hussein captured) Could Howard have been right???

Edit: I mean correct....:)

5. I heard about that. They quote him but ignore that he said it.

I guess I should be glad they are using his statements, but what the heck, they should say "Howard Dean said"...

:hi:
