9. I have yet to see evidence that the media took Dean down.

Even that study everyone is showing doesn't say that pre jan 18 Dean's coverage was predominantly negative. In fact, it was predominantly positive. After he lost Iowa, the press rallied around Kerry and turned its back on its old favorite.

The media didn't take Dean down.

It's way more accurate to say that it tried its damndest to get him elected. However, they only promoted him because he was a flawed candidate. When they saw that all their hard work failed, they moved on to plan B to help Bush win in November.
