1. IT WORKS.
The press are basically cowards and bullies (same as a coward). If they fear you, they give good press; if they don't, like the schoolyard bully picking on the skinny kid, they will be merciless. Good example, while mayor, Guilliani got great press in NYC. The reason is, NYC press feared him because he yelled at them and many times challanged them asking, "how could you ask such a silly question." Guilliani got away with murder in NYC, thanks to a cowed press.

2. Bush's people have always kept the press (and public) in line with fear!
Watch and learn, Democrats!

The press is owned by Bush's friends, but that's only half of it. Bush keeps individual reporters in line with threats, sharp comments, phone calls, and other fear tactics.

3. Only works coming from the master, not from the 10 years old child
Just in case you missed it, it's what W considers us:

''It struck me ... that this president sees America as we think about a 10-year-old child, ''I know as a parent I would sacrifice all for my children."
