OT--still think the news media is fair and unbiased?
"jps" wrote in message ... In article . net, says... It's because the negatives outweigh the positives in numbers and in import. D'oh. I don't agree with that. When the war started, just about everything that was happening was positive. However, CBS *still* managed to find enough bad things to fill 49% of their reports. Even when the positives far, far outweighed the negatives, CBS gave each equal time. Why don't they do the same now? That must be because you consider engaging in war a positive endeavor. At least half the country thought it was a mistake. Uh-oh. More proof jps is wrong: AP Poll Finds Majority Back War in Iraq Friday December 19, 2003 7:01 AM By WILL LESTER Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) - Americans think the war in Iraq was the right decision by a 2-1 margin and are more inclined to approve of the job done by President Bush in foreign policy and terrorism following the capture of Saddam Hussein, an Associated Press poll found. |

Duh Doc, this is current news and you were talking about "when the war started..." Today is different from six months ago and six months from now people will again have a different take on the war... It's like you got to the crime scene six months later and tried to take a photo of evidence that's been swept away months earlier. Not logical doc. |

"jps" wrote in message ... Today is different from six months ago Six months ago, 43% felt Bush was too eager to go to war with Iraq...well less than "more than half" as you claimed. Anyway you spin it, your statement is a complete fabrication. The Harris Poll® #18, March 26, 2003 Slight Majority of Americans Support Bush Decisions on War With Iraq Large majorities still believe that Iraq has or is making weapons of mass destruction Significant numbers feel president was too eager to go to war _____________________________________ by David Krane and Nancy Wong As the nation, which overwhelmingly believes that Iraq has weapons of mass destruction (81%), moves into its second week of war with Iraq, the latest Harris Poll finds that just over half of Americans (56%) express support for President Bush's handling of issues in Iraq over the last few months. Equal percentages (56%) feel that he's done a positive job in lining up allies who would support the war. While comparable numbers (54%) say that Bush was "right" to attack Iraq now, nearly a third of Americans (31%) feel that Bush should have given Iraq and United Nations weapons inspectors more time and, a full 43% think the president was too eager to go to war. |
