Anarchists, Communists, and Assorted Goofballs

In this election year, the gloves are off. From the cavalcade of books released, (at very strategic times)the media promotion of these same books on television, and the films portraying the President in a negative light, there has been an unprecedented barrage of anti-Bush propaganda. (An article in the current issue of Atlantic Monthly goes into great detail on Hollywood's antipathy toward GWB. See it here.)

Ordinarily you'd expect the Republican Convention to receive the same type of coverage as the Democrat's convention. This year the media realizes there's too much at stake for that sort of thing. That's why I feel confident (or at least fairly confident) in predicting that this year's Republican Convention will be noted for the fact that the media will spend more time covering the protestors and their handiwork outside Madison Square Garden than they will the candidate.

You heard it here first.
