I'd argue ALL news channels did it for Bush. None in the MSM questioned going into Iraq. They all beat the war drums.
It's not a wrong answer. The point is it isn't a wild diversion - it's just part of a long term trend. But here's what will happen. Obama will get another 4 years. By the time he gets out people who were 10 when he got in will be out there voting for the first time and they won't remember what came before (i.e. Bush). The guys who were 10 when Bush got in were 18 when they voted him out and they'll be 26 by the time Obama leaves. The next cohort will be the 34 year olds who grew up under Clinton and got to vote Bush in. These people still think changing the party can change the direction of the country. They haven't been around long enough to see how it goes. Those are the people who desperately need to be disabused about the idea of parties - but so long as their elders and mentors keep talking about arguing about party they'll continue to be mislead into thinking it matters. People need to get past the logo. It doesn't matter if the package says Camel or Winston or Lucky Strike - it's all RJ Reynolds (which is 42% owned by British American Tobacco so you can throw Rothman's in that mix too) and they're all bad for you.
