A Negative Balance between the Media and Bush

Supreme Court Nominee Harriet Miers and George W. Bush

A Negative Balance between the Media and Bush The inverse function between Bush’s approval chart and media’s satisfaction. The more Bush’s popularity is up, the less is the media’s rating. Bush’s rating is up from 38% to 45%. His Katrina rating was 40%, and Rita rating jumped to 70%. But media will not let him have it easy because they are diabolical. The media profits from the Bush’s predicament. The more he is in a jam, the more their rating is up, and more sensational. Today Bush looks very moody and “less spring in his step”. Actually, he did 3 things that should be worthy of commendation. They are 1) John Roberts’ nomination as a Supreme court chief justice. 2) Success of Hurricane Rita planning. For Bush to spring back so fast from Katrina is his strength. 3) Harriet Miers met little resistance from democrats like Senator Harry Reid and Senator Schumer. 1) John Roberts’s nomination. It was very successful. A landslide confirmation victory of 78 vs. 20 votes in the Senate, a bipartisan approval, rare agreement nowadays in the American political landscape. We watch C-SPAN’s in-depth coverage Roberts’ friends and understood the man. He said that he would be a historian, as that is his first love of career. 2) Rita’s zero death. Though oil rigs got Gulf coast lost 15% of the US production of crude oil, the evacuations were a success. But the anti-Bush media used a backward logic, in the critical remarks, “It has zero death, so why bother to have all this work on Rita.” They didn’t bother to research that in 1957 Hurricane Audrey brought 390 deaths, and became one of 10 deadliest U.S. hurricanes. Without evacuations, Rita could have become bigger problem than Audrey. Another spoiled and undisciplined a white female news reporter’s comment, “We were all in the White House, watching the dysfunctional response to Katrina.” These are hard and cruel jokes, to cause a racial divide. 3) Harriet Miers. She is an American woman with a good soul.
