For 444 days, 52 hostages were held by the Iranian radicals.I remember one national evening news broadcast that would open each night with "Day
xyz, American Held Hostage!" This went on night after night with the number of days increasing by one each day.
Had the Corporate Media done the same thing with the Bushistas, George would
never have gotten close enough in the polls to steal Election2004.
Just imagine if the Corporate Media whores had hammered America with:
"Day 123: No Weapons of Mass Destruction Found!"
or
"
1,000 American Troops Killed in Iraq: Where Are the Weapons?"
Imagine the damage done to GW Bush if Americans were exposed daily to the constant hammering of his blunders and lies.
on edit: I reread your post and realized I didn't really answer your questions. I believe Carter was done in by the Corporate Media and wanted to express how George would have experienced the same fate if the media whores were just as tough on him as on Carter.
Sorry for the rant...
