Just went back and re-read it. It follows with my point. Where they are saying
that Bush's supporters were following the administrations line that's fine. My
point was that those news outlets are the ones the administration talks with
and uses to spread their take on information. It really is a self perpetuating
system. Take someone who liked Bush. He sees Bush raked over the coals in most
of the media, but here's Rush and Hannity say "This is what that really means"
and finding a way to put a positive spin on the event while painting the other
news outlets in a bad light. This is re-enforced time after time with the
administration pointedly supporting it's friends in the media world, and so it
goes on and becomes an even more concrete belief in the spin, not the reality.
BTW I think that the left does the same thing with different outlets, but I
will admit not to quite the same extent.
