All you have is them picking on your pet in peacetime versus them going relatively light on the President after the largest act of terrorism in our nation's history...in addition to them realizing that 90% of the population was is support of his actions. Folie a deux? Again so soon? So then: you think it "normal journalistic behavior" to poll the vox populii and: report what these wish most to hear? And Not report say, what some might Not wish to hear? Not even question.. because ~ it might be unPatriotic to question the actions of a Government planning a War on Something (greatly in need of guidance surely: isn't every* Government, when making such 'plans' ??) * or do you really think that a War on Evil is some clear mandate of that Something - sans discussion Biblical or Otherwise? Y'know, if I were a one susceptible of it - I'd be disappointed in your Rx for proper 'unbiased' journalism (or was that Rx: 'sycophancy via Popularity poll', that you wanted a Patriot-journalist to practice?)

Would it not be safe to assume that there are a boatload of >liberals< who agreed with the President's handling of the situation. I know that my statistics are not scientifically accurate to 10-200...but I think the point can be made with really rough estimates like that...and the President's approval rating has been amazingly high. Now...of course...what is liberal to many might very well be conservative for you...so I guess it all depends on your point of reference.

Since you link to stats that show the majority Republicans, Democrats and Independents feel the President is handling post 9/11 well. Whcih is what >my< point was.
