09/17/2001 Overwhelmingly, Americans responded with approval to his actions. An NBC poll released on September 13, 2001, just two days after the attack showed that 80 percent approved of the president's handling of the of the crisis so far, eight percent disapproved, and 12 percent were not sure. Sadly, some members of the media were among the eight percent that disapproved and used their platforms to question his leadership. Consider this oddly gossipy exchange heard on ABC on Wednesday morning, 09/12/2001: Claire Shipman: "Some people on Capitol Hill and in the security
community are wondering about why the White House was so quick and
so open with the information today that the White House itself and
Air Force One may have been a target. Not that they're suggesting
that information is wrong, but there is a thinking among some
that the White House was eager to put that information out in order
to make it plain that President Bush had to spend his day yesterday
flying around the country instead of coming straight back to
Washington, that there may have been some politics involved in
that decision. . . " Hmmmmmm!Anonymous sources providing cheap political shots, it sounds like to me! Implying irresponsibility, planting the seeds of distrust. This is sneaky, low, and under-handed business. Disgraceful, indeed, that Jennings and Shipman would use their positions for cheesy political dirty tricks during a time of national crisis. Let's tell them exactly what we think of their shenanigans. Here is the contact information: ABC Owner of ABC: Read more here:
