Who knew? The American public has been kept in the dark yet again by big media that wants to control what we do in the Presidential election. The details:
President Bush had a successful trip to Italy earlier this month, but no one in America would know it based on the news coverage.
...John Paul II even applauded the “encouraging steps” underway in the governmental organization and reconstruction of Iraq. After the president presented the pope with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, America’s highest civilian award, John Paul II exclaimed, “God bless America.”
The media ignored developments that could have an impact on this year’s presidential election. For example, the pope strongly endorsed Mr. Bush’s “commitment to the promotion of moral values in American society, particularly with regard to respect for life and the family.” This is important given that abortion and same-sex marriage are issues in the 2004 campaign. John Paul II’s praise is relevant because John Kerry, a Catholic, is opposed to the church’s positions against abortion and same-sex marriage.
...Mr. Bush’s state visit with Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi similarly was misreported. ...After Mr. Bush detailed Mr. Berlusconi’s leadership and commitment to the Iraq mission, the prime minister’s poll numbers improved. This is an impressive sign of the president’s prestige. It is not a surprise that the U.S. media failed to report it.
This is the second of three posts today on big media.
