political-media dynamic

"I don't want to cut into any of those TV shows that are getting ready to air...for the sake of the economy." --President Bush ~9pm during his primetime disrupting press conference.

despite this moment of levity, most of the networks had already switched back to normal programming.

the washington post and ny times naturally spin it in their anti-bush way
- "And it was the president who blinked first"
- "though Bush runs the country, wiser men run the broadcast networks"
then explain all those terrible shows they keep greenlighting
