UNFAIR, UNBALANCED


The man who fired the air traffic controllers and then had the National Airport named in his honor had a vast advantage over the present president in the PR game: no internet; no 24 hour cable news. Now, if there is good news (Thousands of new jobs created!) it must be balanced with equally bad news ("There's still unemployment!") that makes good news seem Polyannish: "It's a beautiful sunrise!" must be followed by "Tonite the beauty will be engulfed in a smothering darkness!!"
