The president makes headlines no matter what

and our media, faithful stenographers that they are, continue to spare us any context...
What Rove can still count on, in spite of everything, is that the president's assertions make it into the headlines no matter how dubious they may be -- and that all too many reporters prefer uncritical transcription to the kind of tough but fair analysis that would be required to put what the president says in context.

because, after all, the bulk of american citizens, unless they happen to be among the elite few who've been blessed with insider status and superior intellectual abilities, wouldn't be able to understand it anyway...

and, yes, it is STILL rove who's calling the talking point shots...
