Bush's poll numbers are in free fall, but CNN's Malveaux claimed they are

improving

On the September 12 edition of CNN's The Situation Room, White House correspondent Suzanne Malveaux claimed that
"we have seen poll numbers improve" since Coast Guard Vice Adm. Thad Allen took charge of the Bush administration's
Hurricane Katrina recovery efforts -- despite the fact that most publicly available polling shows the Bush administration's
numbers in a free fall. Later in the program, Situation Room host Wolf Blitzer claimed that Bush's poll numbers are going up --
but used a misleading comparison of different polls conducted by different news organizations using different methodologies in order to do so.



The president's popularity and job-approval ratings have dropped across the board. Only 38 percent of Americans approve of the way
Bush is doing his job overall, a record-low for this president in the NEWSWEEK poll. (Fifty-five percent of Americans disapprove of his
overall job performance.) And only 28 percent of Americans say they are "satisfied with the way things are going" in the country, down
from 36 percent in August and 46 percent in December, after the president's re-election.

2. The "liberal" media consistantly find one ray of sunshine

in the midst of the darkest storm, and hold it up as a positive for Chimp. Twenty polls show that he sucks, one poll says he doesn't suck as much as he used to, and MSM declares * the most popular man in history.

4. PennyMan, a girl's gotta make a living...she's getting a bonus for that.

There was a huge sting in Chicago not too long ago, Project Grey Lord was the name, I believe. The Feds started small and found that quite a few Chicago judges were willing to exchange favors for cash. At the time, a prosecutor said that had a virtual rate card...simiple assault...$1000; manslaighter...$10,000...etc.

I've always wondered how the incentive system works for MediaWhores who do things like this, which happens all the time, including sins of omission. Is this a cash transaction, "Hey, Malveaux, here's a fist full of C notes, nice job" -- Is it a stay at one of the resort "properties" owned by a subsidiary, in which case it works out well for the parent corporation -- Is it, "Do this or you lose your job." I don't know but it would be nice to see who gets what for the constant big lie.
