So was the Right right, saying Bush was doing fine, or was the Left right, when they said he was leading us down the wrong path?
Not that bias is cool, but it was obvious which side was correct on the issue of Bush. I'm surprised the whole media didn't dislike Bush, after how his Administration treated them. Seemed pretty arrogant and disdainful, for much of it, neh? FWIW, there *are* shows that are pretty unbiased. At least on my local PBS station. You would have a hard time saying the commentators were for one candidate or the other. Just thoughtful comments, basically, about both. Although some of us, on this list, don't seem to think very bad things were happening, Very Bad Things were happening, and I really wish I didn't read people saying they'd still vote for Bush, if he was up against Gore or Kerry again. Eh. Bias is interesting. Aldus Huxley interesting. -- Woman is the salvation or the destruction of the family. She carries its destiny in the folds of her mantle.
