Poster Child Abuse
In their attempts to beat up the president for vetoing the expansion of children's health care, the Democrats got a seven-year-old to give their radio address. The child was meant to illustrate what the president vetoed - health coverage for poor families who couldn't afford insurance.
The facts of this child's situation are quite different from what has been claimed.
Instead of pointing out those facts, the press is highlighting anti-Bush ads on this topic in stories that are thinly-disguised efforts to rehash the talking points.
This gives conservatives yet another opportunity to play our favorite game - what if a Republican had done this?
Oh, wait...we already know what happens when Republicans do this sort of thing. The lack of consistency in the media is pathetic.
