    Bush Finds No Friends At Networks

    President Bush just can't win with the broadcast networks
    More than two-thirds of the news stories on ABC, NBC and CBS covering the first 100 days of Mr. Bush's second term were negative, according to an analysis released today by the District-based Center for Media and Public Affairs (CMPA). It's actually a slight improvement: During the first 100 days of his initial term in office, the coverage was 71 percent negative, according to a similar CMPA study conducted in 2001. In comparison, President Clinton's first-term news coverage was 59 percent negative in 1993. The three networks also seem to be boycotting Mr. Bush this time around. He rated 619 stories during the study period in 2001-- but just 250 stories this year, the study found. "Presidents tend to get bad coverage during their second terms. The press is sick of them by then. The Iraq war and the weapons-of-mass-destruction question was a particular factor for Mr. Bush this time," said CMPA director Robert Lichter. "Many journalists felt tricked by the White House, and consequently were not going to let the president get away with anything," Mr. Lichter said. "But the public isn't going to let the news media get away with anything either," he added. "The public is more critical and ask more questions about news coverage these days -- and what offends them most is negativism." The CMPA study analyzed stories that aired Jan. 20 to April 29. ABC was the most critical -- 78 percent of the coverage of the president on "ABC World News Tonight" was negative. On CBS, the coverage was 71 percent negative. The study called NBC "more balanced" at 57 percent negative.

    More liberal bias; big surprise!

    You ever think there's been more negative news than positive news regarding the President?

    I'm sure he did, and then promptly discarded this likely theory.

    The Columbus Dispatch is nothing but a bunch of Columbus Crew haters. The majority of Crew-related stories in their paper this year have been negative. Clearly, this is due to an anti-Crew bias, and has nothing to do with the fact that the Crew suck.

    You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

    Westley: Give us the gate key.
    Yellin: I have no gate key.
    Inigo Montoya: Fezzik, tear his arms off.
    Yellin: Oh, you mean this gate key

    You fell victim to one of the classic blunders. The most famous is: "Never get involved in a land war in Asia." But, only slightly less well known is this: "Never go in against a Sicilian, when death is on the line!"

    You are sure nobody's follow' us?

    As I told you, it would be absolutely, totally, and in all other ways inconceivable. No one in Guilder knows what we've done, and no one in Florin could have gotten here so fast. - Out of curiosity, why do you ask?

    No reason. It's only... I just happened to look behind us and something is there.

    What? Probably some local fisherman, out for a pleasure cruise, at night... in... eel-infested waters...

    INCONCEIVABLE.

    Finish him. Finish him, your way.

    Oh good, my way. Thank you Vizzini... which one's my way?

    Pick up one of those rocks, get behind a boulder, in a few minutes the man in black will come running around the bend, the minute his head is in view, hit it with the rock.

    My way's not very sportsman-like.

    You know Fezzik, you finally did something right.

    Don't worry, I won't let it go to my head.
