MG, I am in Canada. Our news ain't brainwashed bullcrap, we don't much be liking Fox News up here (except maybe for the laugh factor). But it is clear that CNN example (even the american version) is very much anti-bush, and especially guys like Lou Dobbs would love a chance to jump on Bush. But the chance has to be a real chance, not a bored nutjob senator looking for camera time trying to push something nobody else wants. In news terms, the story has no legs.

Few in Washington want to see Bush impeached at this point. The Republicans want to look like they leader is a good guy, they are fucked enough as it is trying to keep him away from Senate and House races so he doesn't poison things... and the democrats, well, they stand to be holding all three pieces of the puzzle come January, so why would they want to start a pissing war that could make them look bitter and vindictive?

Impeachment might have been an idea a couple of years ago. Hell, voting the chimp out of office 4 years ago would have been a great idea. But doing it now is a waste of time and effort, so the idea has no supporters, no backers, and it isn't making it into the spin cycle. The media can smell a dead body from miles back, and nobody wants to touch it.

The american media for the most part stopped being about news a long time ago. Now it is about ratings, which means sucking up to which ever group has the power, singing whatever song is the most in demand. Too bad, really.
