Obama: 3, Bush: 0.
Today around 10:45 a.m. ET, President Bush began speaking about domestic policies at the American Enterprise Institute and President-elect Obama began his press conference announcing his picks to fill the SEC, Federal Reserve Board, and Commodity Futures Trading Commission. Both MSNBC and CNN ignored the lame-duck president and chose to cover Obama’s remarks. Fox News originally aired Bush’s speech, but even that Bush-friendly network switched to Obama’s remarks after a few minutes.

It’s all about ratings. Obama gets them for the media — Bush doesn’t.

Yes, that and the fact the viewers would rather watch an articulate person speak whole sentences without continuous pronunciation challenges.
Just sayin…

It surprised me how often the MSM who has ignored any criticism of Heir Chimp over the last 8 years has replayed the shoes beng thrown at Bush ad nauseum. I had to check to make sure I was still in America…

December 18th, 2008 at 11:36 amGood for FauxNewsMSNBCCNN! And the blogosphere should follow their example. There in NO reason (other than comic relief) to cover Shrubby’s world tour-legacy whitewash.

Hmmm… if this is such a lame story, what does that make your need to come here and comment on it?
December 18th, 2008 at 12:08 pmAEI is as much of a think tank as Fox is news.
Stink Tanks, perhaps, nothing more.
