I think they already have, but maybe I just talk to the wrong people.
If Bush APPEARS to be doing a good job, and enough of the right people PRAISE him for doing a good job.. who's to say he isn't doing a good job? It's all in the spin.
Remember that reporter was fired on the spot for insinuating the American military underestimated the Iraqi forces. ie: He put the wrong spin on the situation.
Remember how Clear Channel banned the Dixie Chicks from being played on their stations? That decision affected hundreds of media outlets across the country.
Even if it IS a personal or coroporate decision independent of government influence, the resulting effect is that of glossing over the government's shortcomings and encouraging the public's support of the government.
If that's not what making a leader is, then please explain.
