Your quote is all fucked up I'm not fixing your shoddy work, but back to the topic:
If the assertion here is that the networks treated Bush differently on economic stimulus plans than they did Obama,
why is it not relevant to actually look at a Bush stimulus plan and compare how the media talked or didn't talk about IT?
Bush's stimulus failed, his chief economic advisor made a prediction that was way off the mark, and yet, nobody seems to know or care whether the networks did or didn't make a zillion references to it over the next year or two.
Why is that?
Because everybody got a $250 (or more) check in the mail. BIG DIFFERENCE when actual cash can be felt. Who's gonna criticize that? Of course the overall price tag was $170 billion and did nothing to stimulate the economy.
And Bush's people wrongly predicted its effects, IF you apply the same exact standards that are being used to proclaim Obama's people having been wrong in their estimates.
Let's have the researchers run the same test on the network news and see how many times they mentioned Bush's guy getting it wrong. Bush's guy whose name I've already forgotten.
The right's complaint here, in reality, boils down to 'how come the network nightly news didn't obsess on this one number in one economic forecast and try to beat Obama to death with it the way WE on the right did?'
Hey, wingnuts, you WON the 2010 elections because unemployment didn't go down and whoever's in office when unemployment is bad gets blamed. There is no monster under your bed.
