Yes...the Medi-aaaaaahhhhhhhh

It has to roll of your tongue like your mouth is stuck open and can't close again.

They know everything and are there own "class" - as a matter of fact they often believe they are the fourth class of society - and are able to mold the views of the classes beneath them.

They feel smarter than the middle class - and more compassionate than the upper class - all while juggling facts to present news in any manner they wish.

The title of the story used the words "disapproval rating" instead of "approval rating" - full well knowing they want to spread as much negative media coverage as they can.

Subtle? Not really, when you look for it. And when you do - suddenly the whole piece seems like a partisan attempt to slander.

The polling industry thrives on the knowledge that people like to be a mob - and love to follow the majority. The media will now keep trying to convince the US populace that the "majority" is somehow now against Bush - and tyhat they should be as well!

Its simplistic and yet they now it is often effective on the people who are not as news-oriented as are all of us here at HZ.
