according to cnn today, "No bump for Bush despite Iraq speeches." this is based on a cnn/usa today gallup poll that found the president's approval rating stayed at 41%, with 56% disapproving of what he's doing.
the story also points out that these numbers were from a poll conducted before his sunday speech.
meanwhile, at msnbc, the headline is, "Support for Bush jumps." the story is actually out of the washington post.
yesterday, msnbc's headline was "Bush: Leaking was 'shameful.'" I assume he was speaking not of some urinary dysfunction, but of the the leaking of the facts about the government spying on u.s. citizens.
cnn, on the other hand, buried this absurd comment deeper in a story that was headlined "Bush: Secret wiretaps will continue," which i guess is still not exactly engineered to sound very good.
the only stability and consistency in our media cosmology came from fox, of course, which went with "Bush Addresses Patriot Act, NSA Spying."
with a media like this, it's no wonder no one really knows what the hell is going on...
