News just isn't what it used to be.....

[NOVA]

Well, if I had to guess from some of the posts here, the media could have spun things any way they wanted, as long as it would get the Messiah elected.

It's possible what you say is true, though I would also counter that the media is less inclined to report good news, period (and not just good news that would seem to benefit Bush).

To me, there is absolutely no doubt that war fatigue was a major factor in the coverage decline. We have been at war for a very long time.

Your spin and lack of objectivity is understandable....

The msm bash ed bush for 7 solid years on the wars on terrorism.
They were quite successful in demeaning both Bush and the GOP and spent the last year, 2008, setting the stage for electing Obama and Democrats in general to Congress....again a huge success...
You only need to remove you head from your anus to see whats obvious to others....

Whatever. Ignore the stats.

The economy is the big story now. And know what? Obama is getting hammered on it as much as Bush ever was on the war. The daily stories on CNN, MSNBC & the rest are the people out of work & their stories. It's no different.
