What's the story?

Good question:

The day before the nation goes to vote, the TV news reports are already baked in: Saddam found guilty! Which of course brings up the talking point: Hail Bush, vanquisher of evildoers! Because, y’know, we have such a free, independent, liberal media and all.

Not sure if it’s gonna have all that much effect, given that Iraq isn’t quite the winning issue it used to be. But still, seeing the ‘news’ being manipulated like this so far in advance — wouldn’t you think that would be the story, and not just the results of the manipulation?
