Any attempt to say that the media let Bush slide on monumental screwups is laughable to say the least. The media is far more left than it is right and the sooner you realize it the more enlightened you can be.
Sometimes in life you have to concede that the reality may not be how you want it perceived but how it really is. I for the life of me cant understand why liberals deny that the majority of the mainstream media leans strongly their way? Why deny it? The evidence is so one sided that it is idiotic, paranoid and lazy to try to spin it any other way.

You must be joking about this part.
The vast majority of the media simply went along for the ride in 2002 without ever asking the administration the tough questions about a war that a lot of intelligent people realized
at the time was a terrible idea.
Only after the U.S. invasion of Iraq turned into the unquestionable disaster that it became did the majority of the media finally turn on Bush. Are the majority of reporters probably Democrats? Yeah. But for the first two years of that miserable ass-hole's administration....the media as a whole was pretty much in love with him.
