The King of Media Manipulation Cries Foul...At the Media!

The media has started applying the horse-race style of campaign coverage to daily reporting on government, leading to adversarial reporting that can obscure the truth just to create conflict, President Bush’s chief political strategist said Monday.

Speaking at a forum at Washington College, Karl Rove said the influx of media outlets and the shrinking shelf life of news in a 24-hour news cycle are to blame.

“We are substituting the shrill and rapid call of the track announcer for calm judgment, fact and substance,” Rove told the crowd of roughly 600 students and local residents.

What a crock of shit this blog is.

GEORGE SOROS outspent the ANY gop contributor to manipulate the media, 3 TO ONE.

Get Thomas Jefferson off your blog...it's insulting to the Founding Fathers
