The media is interested in ratings. Basically, the more controversial the President the more the press *should* want him/her to remain in the spotlight.

Look at Clinton and George W. Bush for example. Each of them have been controversial in their own ways. Lots of stories about their beliefs and actions.

Now look at Bush's father. In comparison relatively little scandal or public interest (in spite of a war!). While this situation will likely always be true I don't believe the "Big Media" controls the destiny of the President. Obviously there are plenty on this board who seem to think otherwise.
