Mainstream Media in Europe had everybody convinced that a) Bush would never in a million years get re-elected and b) the elections in Iraq would not be successful.
Then both those things happened.
And, per Dick Morris, the public is starting to wake up.
February 25, 2005— NICE, FRANCE
...Nobody here expected Bush to be re-elected. Subjected to 24/7 of liberal propaganda, the European man in the street felt that Bush was going to crash and burn in the U.S. election. Western Europe was happy about it.
Eastern Europe, unhappy. But nobody felt the he would pull it out. That he did and expanded his control of both houses of Congress without compromising on Iraq or withdrawing our troops, sent a message that the American people are behind their president.
Then few people expected the Iraqi elections to come off without a hitch. The vivid demonstration of democracy, purple fingers and all, by-passed the cynical and jaded Euro-media and showed that the people of that beleaguered nation really want the democracy the U.S. has won for them.
...His trip to Europe highlights Bush’s new appeal. His name and photo dominate all the front pages and his speeches newly eloquent and increasingly idealistic are being heard by all. He is going over the heads of the leftist European media and speaking directly to eastern and western Europe.
Perhaps it will be less easy for MSM to mislead the European public in the future.
