I think a politician who is strong enough to criticize and slam the bias of the media would make a great leader.
Do you agree?|||Nader did that already|||No|||No, except (maybe) in extreme and very rare circumstances.
The President should be above that.|||i would agree|||To answer your question;
I agree, the Fred Thompson moment in the last republican debate comes to mind. It was the best moment of the debate and got the best response.|||No you win the press before you win political office.
They can make you or break you.
They can put a slant on what they report about you and make you sound like a serial killer.|||it would be popular to me, its not like the people who are watching that media outlet would vote for that candidate anyway, might as well win over some people with bold moves
kind of like what fred thompson did during the Iowa debate about not raising his hand, that got positive praise|||I certainly enjoyed seeing the new woman that took Tony Snows job as press secretary take the Old Lib Biddy to task this week in front of the whole press corp. That Helen Thomas has been baiting Bushes press secretaries like they should "come clean" about every mess in the world today. She makes it sound as rhough its all Bushes fault and shes just the person to uncover it!
Same for the President. The entire Bush family, even the daughters became hip to the idea the press was out to get him.
On the flip side, Bush, Rice, First Lady Laura all know they get a better shake from Fox News. Why don't they use them more and the Old Media less?|||i definately agree I would like to see some one get up there and call out the press. They can dish it out all day they should be able to take it|||Yes. I used to enjoy greatly watching Rumsfeld frequently school members of the press
Rummy could really put them in their place|||Of course. Why do they get to sit and be critical, open it up for a two way street. I think the president should be expected to stand up for himself and his decisions, and not just sit there and smile.
