Drip, drip, drip…

May 17, 2006 In The News, Politics

The mainstream media has driven Bush’s approval rating to the ground with its repetition in delivering the same story, over and over. “It doesn’t have to be true, it doesn’t have to be fair, it doesn’t have to be consistent in its terms. All that matters is that it is repeated with uniform constancy: drip, drip, drip. George W. Bush is no good, George W. Bush is no good, George W. Bush is no good.” Yet they continue to fail to understand why their circulation and readership numbers are declining.

Perhaps it’s because the only two stories they’re telling are 30-40 years old. They’re telling these two stories because they’re the only two things they know. And we’re not listening because we don’t want to hear about “Vietnam” and “Watergate” anymore.

  • There aren't anymore, no. However, in the time since the 1991 Gulf War, Saddam's regeime had had such weapons in his arsenal, had actively sought out more, had resisting efforts by the UN to disarm him, and had recruited. This does not sound to me like the kind of person who's going to hoard up all these weapons, then destroy them at the last minute and not tell someone who could ward off a pending attack that he didn't have them anymore. They may not be in Iraq, but they're out there somewhere.

    Um, Rumsfeld just admitted that there aren't WMDs in Iraq. Also, that there weren't at the beginning of the war. Also, that he gave specific locations of where WMDs were before the war.
