Look at this major erosion in public opinion of Bush

[diplomats]

"In your view, is George W. Bush one of our greatest presidents, a good but not great president, an average president, or a poor president?"
via CNN/Time poll:

Sept. 2003 - greatest, 9 percent; good, 28 percent; average, 39 percent; poor, 23 percent.

Dec. 2001 - greatest, 15 percent; good, 40 percent; average, 35 percent; poor, 6 percent.

Just 37 percent think Bush is a great or good president. Less than three years ago it 55 percent. To put it another way, 62 percent think Bush is no better than an average president. Maybe someone should tell the clueless media Bush is not Roosevelt and Churchill rolled into one.

1. The media is doing it for a reason.

1. People would rather see praise for an average president than skeptical journalism.
2. The media wants to kiss Bush's rear end, so that he can answer their questions at press conferences and so that they can get interviews with WH staff, etc.

2. Its a tragic lost opportunity The shrub once had. Coulda, woulda, shoulda.

But the guy who had the answers, the little geeky guy in the Basement Gang who always wanted veggie pizzas, guess what?, they fired his ass awhile ago. He had the answers but was always shut down and rejected as too liberal.

Instead they went with the hawk approach, now what???

3. Just want

Everytime he speaks publicly his ratings go throught he roof. The media, even the left wing media praises him. Sometimes I wonder if CNN is left wing. I think they are not right wing and right wingers bash them for that. I was watching fox and the news anchor was bashing democrats. CNN is far closer to the middle than FOX news is. News people are suppose to leave their political views off the air. They are suppose to report the news not attempt to affect public political views. That is too much power. So every news paper and tv station will be praising bush. THe internet will bash him, but surfers will have to surf to those sites meaning no actual bashing or questioning will take place out in the open!
