Bush ^Divisive,^ But Dean a Uniter Who ^Brings People Together^ George W. Bush campaigned in 2000 as a ^uniter, not a divider.^ But in what may be a preview of the prism through which the networks will see the 2004 presidential campaign, ABC^s Terry Moran on Sunday described Bush as a divider, labeling him a ^divisive President^ and a ^divisive figure.^ CBS^s Bob Schieffer similarly portrayed Bush as a divider, calling him ^a polarizing politician,^ but Schieffer hailed Democratic candidate Howard Dean as a uniter. Schieffer trumpeted how Dean ^is a hit at this point^ because ^he seems to be the first Democrat who's found a way to bring new people into the process here. He's found a new kind of participatory politics....Dean has gone into the Internet and begun to bring people together.^ 2. ^Bummest Rap^ to Clift: Dean as ^An Out of Mainstream Liberal^ In the McLaughlin Group^s 22nd annual ^Year-End Awards^ issued on the show aired over the weekend, Newsweek^s Eleanor Clift declared that describing Howard Dean as ^an out of the mainstream liberal^ was the ^Bummest Rap^ of the year, contended that how the Bush administration ^manipulated evidence to build a case for an unnecessary war^ earned her nod for the ^Fairest Rap^ and for ^Capitalist of the Year^ she expressed gratitude to George Soros ^for dedicating $15 million to defeat Bush.^ 3. Couric Upset No Woman on Time^s 'Person of Year^ Soldier Cover Katie Couric: Feminist woman first, journalist second. Interviewing two Time staffers the morning after the magazine named ^The American Soldier^ as its ^Person of the Year,^ Couric^s very first concern was ^why there's no woman on the cover?" In fact, one of the three soldiers on the cover is a woman. 4.
