New York limousine liberal Peter Jennings stepped off his lofty perch to take the “pulse” of the peons to find out why they seem to love George Bush and dislike Big Media.
But he doesn’t say that, of course. He puts it this way:
“There was a Cowboys game going on at the time, and so I went out to the stadium just to talk to the people who were standing in line. People’s preoccupation in Dallas was just so different than it was in New York. Jennings said:
“I said to some guy in the line, ‘How are things in the country? What’s good, what’s bad?’ And he said, ‘You’re bad.’
“That, in itself, was a very healthy reminder that there are people who cannot stand what we do and, in return, (that) we don’t understand people in the country unless we stay in touch with them.”
He has to be reminded that Americans can’t stand the liberal media, but at least he’s making the effort. It comes as a shock to people in Manhattan and inside the Beltway of Washington, D.C.
While Peter prattles on about bloodshed in Iraq, Halliburton, blah, blah, blah, he observes that regular people are “very angry” about politics. Jennings is learning the astounding truth that Americans, in general, don’t like Big Media’s attacks on President Bush, Vice President Cheney or on America as a whole.
But that’s just my biased assessment.
