There is no perspective given from any conservative in the piece.

Yes, the article states all true facts, but they are all taken deliberately out of context to shade the truth. For one thing, these are all extremely minor changes from GWB's positions. They are not "reversals." GWB has been one of the most consistent presidents in living memory.

This is not just biased. This is an overt attack, tantamount to a declaration of jounralistic war.

War was declared in the Reagan years.

Oh Fooey them. CNN in particular has very little firepower to bring to any "journalistic war."

Gearge got some things in writing he didn't have, so that is not a reversal, I agree.

Journalism begun to lose credibility the moment Cronkite lied about the Tet Offensive during the Vietnam War.

[BigSkyFreeper]

Another case in point of the liberal media misrepresenting the facts, as I write this post, on NewsNight with Aaron Brown, the banner at the bottom of screen on CNN reads "White House Flip Flop", John King reporting on Condi Rice's decision to testify publically.

[PokeyJoe]

And CNN wonders why they lost 40% of the news junkies to REAL journalistm.

"There is no perspective given from any conservative in the piece. "

This phony cry of bias is really too much - when has anyone here ever complained that Rush or Sean don't give enough of a liberal voice on their shows. Bias is natural, live with it. Pick the sources who have the same bias & let others have theirs. The battle of ideas & ideals will be won - that you can take to the bank.

I don't know. I think reporting these changes in position is fair. Bush has compromised on several of these issues under pressure in order to move on. So I have no problem with this piece. But there is indeed a big difference between reaching a compromised settlement than the opportunistic flip-flopping and pandering Kerry engages in. What's wrong is that the press does not do the same in reporting on Kerry's changes.

[Jorge]

This is one more weak attempt by the left to claim Bush is a flip-flopper just like Kerry.

There's a big difference between a negotiated political compromise under pressure,(all public servants do this) and flip-flopping political opportunism designed to appeal to changing audiences.

Liberals must think we're stupid.
They think we can't see the difference between Bush, a man of conviction and Kerry who is an unprincipled empty suit.

[KellyAdmirer]

The liberals are really just showing the effectiveness of the Bush team's attacks on Kerry when they pull stupid stunts like this. They tried this stuff in 2000, too, trying to compare Gore's wild exaggerations ("I discovered Love Canal" etc.) with Bush's more common ones.

Run, little liberals, run for your lives, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Thanks for confirming that the characterization of Kerry as flip-flopper is drawing blood.

bttt

[js1138]

I wouldn't worry about this line of argument. It is long winded and wordy, just like Kerry. No one can possibly keep this in their head.

Compare with "I voted for it before I voted against it."

This defines Kerry.

[CyberAnt]

CNN lost 50% of it's viewership during the past year!

And .. as they continue to bash Bush, their numbers will continue to drop!

[cyncooper]

You're right. An overt attack based on misleading and outright false assertions. For example:

# He argued a federal Department of Homeland Security wasn't needed, then devised a plan to create one.

From this thread I posted a few days ago from *June 2001* just look at what the Bush WH was discussing and considering even before that horrific attack:

The Bush administration has seized the problem aggressively with a range of initiatives to have a working system in place to defend the country against attacks on its critical infrastructure. Pentagon insiders tell Insight that Rumsfeld's reviews pay close attention to homeland defense and that the administration is weighing creation of a special office for that purpose.

~snip~

Now, does anybody believe the spin that Bush was weighing a department of Homeland Security before 9/11 but then argued against it after? Poppycock.

Analysis: Bush stubborn streak an issue


Compare to this AP article 5 days later that says Bush is too stubborn. LOL. Can't these guys at least share notes when they write hit pieces!?
