My, my. Only 38% think Li'l Georgie's gonna back in the White House. |
From The New York Times, 9/1/03:
http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/national/AP-Democrats-Poll.html
When all potential voters were asked whether President Bush will
definitely be re-elected, 38 percent said yes, but 50 percent said
they think a Democrat can win.
When voters were asked the same question about Bush's father in
October 1991, 66 percent said yes, but that number dropped 20 points
in the next month.
The first President Bush lost to Bill Clinton.

Appellate Court Rules Media Can Legally Lie.
On February 14, a Florida Appeals court ruled there is absolutely nothing
illegal about lying, concealing or distorting information by a major press
organization. The court reversed the $425,000 jury verdict in favor of
journalist Jane Akre who charged she was pressured by Fox Television
management and lawyers to air what she knew and documented to be false
information. The ruling basically declares it is technically not against any
law, rule, or regulation to deliberately lie or distort the news on a
television broadcast.
On August 18, 2000, a six-person jury was unanimous in its conclusion that
Akre was indeed fired for threatening to report the station's pressure to
broadcast what jurors decided was "a false, distorted, or slanted" story about
the widespread use of growth hormone in dairy cows. The court did not dispute
the heart of Akre's claim, that Fox pressured her to broadcast a false story
to protect the broadcaster from having to defend the truth in court, as well
as suffer the ire of irate advertisers.
Fox argued from the first, and failed on three separate occasions, in front of
three different judges, to have the case tossed out on the grounds there is no
hard, fast, and written rule against deliberate distortion of the news. The
attorneys for Fox, owned by media baron Rupert Murdock, argued the First
Amendment gives broadcasters the right to lie or deliberately distort news
reports on the public airwaves.
In its six-page written decision, the Court of Appeals held that the Federal
Communications Commission position against news distortion is only a "policy,"
not a promulgated law, rule, or regulation.
