“This administration is populated by people who’ve spent their careers bashing government. They’re not just small-government conservatives—they’re Grover Norquist, strangle-it-in-the-bathtub conservatives. It’s a cognitive disconnect for them to be able to do something well in an arena that they have so derided and reviled all these years.”

Liberal Media Bias

It's all proven in this Washington Post article:
The good news for President Bush is that he has dominated media coverage in recent months, a new study says.

The bad news is that much of the reporting has focused on the president's character -- and has been negative by more than a 3-to-1 margin.

The bad news for John Kerry is that the media assessments of his character have been negative by a margin of more than 5 to 1.

Oh wait. Nevermind.
The negative reporting seems to have had a limited impact on Bush. According to the poll, 53 percent see him as tough and 48 percent as strong and decisive -- followed by 44 percent who say he's stubborn, 33 percent who say he twists the facts and 27 percent who call him a wealthy elitist.

The image of Kerry is less distinct but more negative: 36 percent say he flip-flops, 28 percent say he twists the facts and 20 percent call him a wealthy elitist -- followed by 18 percent who say Kerry is strong and decisive and 15 percent who call him tough.

Ah that liberal media. Looks like Kerry may get Gored this election.
