WHY DOES MSNBC LIE?
In this article, MSNBC news ends an article (about the success the Dixie Chicks are having in ticket sales) with this:
"The Dixie Chicks� album �Home� has tumbled down the charts in the weeks following singer Natalie Maines� declaration in London that she was ashamed to come from the same state (Texas) as Bush."

Now that sounds like cold fact, doesn't it? But upon looking at the Billboard charts, one finds no such "tumbling" at all.
In fact, the Dixie Chick's album Home has climbed to #1 on the charts. So why, pray tell, does the media tell us the album is falling?
Some bloggers have a theory...
and i agree, to be inflammatory, this is a media that WANTS the Chicks to fall for their singer's shame in Bush. Remember all the hoop-la that arose after Ms. Maine's comment that she wasn;t proud that Bush was a Texan? Remember the Clear channel stations that pulled the Chicks off the air? (Clear channel being run by friends of Mr. Bush). And remember the justification: "listeners' demand." Hmm....so why do they continue to buy the album and attend the concert in droves? Does one wonder whether the hoop-la and Chick hating might have been a media invention?
