Because the only way to fight off criticism that you know is valid is to discredit the source of the criticism.

I don't think the media should be blamed. The rise of the Internet should be. Bush would never have lost his 90% support if this Corporate-owned system of wires and tubes had never been invented. And to think some liberals actually want to regulate the Internet and destroy this last protection against the police-nanny state (they're promoting it as protecting Internet freedom through "net neutrality" but its regulation).

Because the Media only reports what is good for the media. They need to sell newspapers, airtime, advertisements and garner ratings.... Good news doesn't sell stuff...bad and controversial news does.
Look at these sites, see what the Media does not report on, in Iraq, or Afghanistan......tremendous amount of good things going on, but the media ignores it.

Republicans control 80% of the media. Bush is a reepublican

It isn't, but there constant defeatism is a little ridiculous, especially since what they portray isn't the case. I dislike the media very much anyways for there almost inaccurate portrayal of everything, but I realize it is a necessity to protect us from totalitarianism.

The media is and has been a leftist tool since 1964. They spread and enforce liberal propaganda and run every story through the lens of bias. The facts are not the facts anymore they are shaped and packaged then spoon fed to citizens that increasingly can not tell reality from what they see on TV.

Bush's slide in popularity has nothing to do with the media.
The people of this nation have spoken, and we have expressed our disapproval.

Because the one rule cons have regarding Bush is to make up strawman excuses for his shortcomings and mistakes, no matter what the consequences.

The American people voted in November, and Rumsfeld was out a day later.
Bush has only himself to blame for being unpopular, and I can't wait for his term to be finished.
