"Here's George W. Bush's problem. How does a president win re-election when all the news the voters are seeing is bad?"Of course, Herbert hedges his bet by adding the obligatory Republican "voter suppression" and "scare" tactics that may sway the ignorant masses and steal the election again - as was done in 2000!
Perhaps another answer is that the voters will see through the bias in much of what is - and isn't - reported. Using the "scare" tactic reference is a double-edge sword. I seem to recall 'bad news' reports about Bush "taking away Social Security benefits from seniors" and "re-instituting the draft". Both sides are crying wolf, the question is: "Who's got better vision?"
