Media Covered Heinz Kerry 'Shove It' Comment on 187 More Occasions than Bush 'Can't Win the War on Terror' Comment

While reporters obsessed for days over Teresa Heinz Kerry's relatively insignificant request that a right-wing reporter "shove it," they've devoting much less coverage to George W. Bush's stunning flip-flop on one of the most important issues facing America today -- whether or not we can win the war on terror.

On Sept. 1, Salon.com senior writer Eric Boehlert wrote: "The Bush machine is running one of the dirtiest -- and most effective -- campaigns in modern history" and noted that the "compliant media" has adopted a "double standard" when it comes to President George W.

media.

They have abused a privilege that they never had in the first place, and that is to control the public media. Their RW republican bias prejudice is now so apparent that even many republicans are realizing that there is no such thing as a liberal media.

They are going to lose the privilege to own media, and I'm going to work until my dying day to see that they lose it.

The media, and the ballot box, are going to be placed back into the hands of the People.
