ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, AP & Reuters are who I call the "Mainstream Media" in TV, print and spoken forms. The "S-CHIP" Bill - Bush had to veto it, not because of the fact that it increased medical coverage to kids, but because of the riders on it that opened free medical coverage to adults that could be claimed as student dependents. Polling Results (in general) - We are pelted with poll results that show approval ratings or other pieces of public opinion. As conversations here have proven time and again, for a poll or research item to be valid it must stand up to scrutiny. The mainstream media loves to throw out numbers such as in December of 2006 when a poll showed a 25% approval rating of Bush's handing of the war. The poll turned out to be conducted by CBS news and asked 922 people - 328 democrats, 273 republicans and 321 independents. They interpreted this to say that the President was loosing the support of his base, something that was not true. Cop Killing - Bush got blamed for killing an officer in his own motorcade! The Time headline read "Bush Motorcade Kills Cop" when the officer hit an obstruction while a part of the motorcade. The same thing happened with Clinton, the headline on Time read, "Officer Killed Escorting Clinton." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:262466 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
