These days it is... I get a laugh out of seeing even the donuts on foxnews calling him out ever so gently. I have a real feeling that even his own party is getting tired of this endless swamp of difficult military actions, thinly veiled corruption, wishy-washy answers, and month long vacations on the ranch to clear brush. More and more, I see an absentee landlord at work.

However, that being said, there is a difference between reporting "Bush restates military policy" and report-editorializing "Dems call Bush military policy 'bullshit'" or "Reps think Bush "on course for a win" in Iraq" Just choosing who you quote at the top or in the first paragraph can change everything.

Too much of the "news" today is dependant on those quotes to make it "sing"... but then it only signs the party lines (which from what I can gather, is often the extremist feelings of less than 10% of the population at either end of the debate).
