Okay, there was an article that New York Times took another shot at Bush.
New York Times Blames Housing Financial Crisis on Bush (

And:
The Bush administration today recommended the most significant regulatory overhaul in the housing finance industry since the savings and loan crisis a decade ago.
Under the plan, disclosed at a Congressional hearing today, a new agency would be created within the Treasury Department to assume supervision of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the government-sponsored companies that are the two largest players in the mortgage lending industry. [...]
The plan is an acknowledgment by the administration that oversight of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac -- which together have issued more than $1.5 trillion in outstanding debt -- is broken. A report by outside investigators in July concluded that Freddie Mac manipulated its accounting to mislead investors, and critics have said Fannie Mae does not adequately hedge against rising interest rates.
''There is a general recognition that the supervisory system for housing-related government-sponsored enterprises neither has the tools, nor the stature, to deal effectively with the current size, complexity and importance of these enterprises,'' Treasury Secretary John W. Snow told the House Financial Services Committee in an appearance with Housing Secretary Mel Martinez, who also backed the plan.

That is just one of several New York Times articles that contradict the new hit piece made by the New York Times.
Looks to me that this is latest attack by the New York Times is nothing more than a typical left-wing media smear job.
Your point? All that I'm hearing is more liberal name-calling.

Bush, goes down in history as the worst president in history, even if the media has been biased, etc etc. That cannot change the above fact. Is America better or worse off due to Bush's Presidency? I don't see how anyone on review of the current situation can say America is better off...

QFT.
Even if the Media has some liberal bias, if we compare the current state of America (under Bush) and the beginning of his term, America's in a pretty bad state. We're in two wars and a recession, as compared to the budget surplus that Clinton left us with.

jonathan7, if you were alive during 1861-1865 you would say the same thing about Abraham Lincoln. I took a course concerning Constitutional History and my liberal professor pointed out the similarities. And Lincoln restricted rights more than President Bush.
Furthermore, these last few years we've seen journalism literally die in America. I'm not talking about bias, I'm talking about blatent dishonesty on the part of the media. I'm not accusing them of bias, I'm accusing them of journalistic fraud.

Lincoln, I trust as he has a brain and integrity - I know bush doesn't have much of the former, and I don't know enough about the man to comment on the latter. Further more I'd argue that Lincoln's war was a just war, where as I don't think you can call Iraq that (though Afghanistan is).

Besides, that was the Civil War, where the conflicts took place on US soil. anyways, I'm still loling. :rofl:

Agreed, totally and completely. The man sank us into a war we really had no business starting, putting us trillions of dollars in debt, based on intelligence about WMDs that never existed. Period.
Not only that, but what has he been doing to stem the tide of this financial crisis? ****ting around and going to parties, football games, and unveiling a picture of himself. Please, if you do one thing, Garfield, do not try to convince me that Bush was worth those 8 years. Because he was horrible. Bar none.
Lincoln, I trust as he has a brain and integrity - I know bush doesn't have much of the former, and I don't know enough about the man to comment on the latter. Further more I'd argue that Lincoln's war was a just war, where as I don't think you can call Iraq that (though Afghanistan is).
We can argue about Iraq till we're blue in the face, fact is the Iraq War was due to bad intelligence (and I would be willing to blame Cheney and Rumsfeld too). Pulling out of Iraq irresponsibly though only makes the situation worse.
Lincoln had a more stringent version of the patriot act, where he suspended habeous corpus.

It is NOT a right.
I don't care if you yell 'till you're blue in the face, it isn't a right, it's a privilege, and The Public Safety has been deemed in danger enough to warrant suspension.

On topic, Bush has been the worst president in US history, he's gotten us into an unjustified war, ruined the economy, and set back environmental policy by years.
I actually find the charge that the media is the reason for President Bush's problems laughable.
I guess the American people are bias too, seeing how President Bush had the highest disapproval rating in the history of Gallup.
Let us also remember December 2003 when Bush had 63% the highest approval rating of any president since LBJ had a 74% at the end of 1963 (one month after the death of JFK). Seems the media was not too bias back in 2003.
I do not blame the media. I believe Clinton was bashed more by the media and leaks from the Kenneth Star investigation than George W Bush ever was. I believe all of the Bush administration problems are self-inflicted. If anything I blame the press and both the Democrats and the Republicans in Congress for not questioning Bush’s policies back when his approval rating were high and before over 4,000 American Military Personal were killed and over 30,000 wounded.
The only way I would put George Bush and Abraham Lincoln in the same sentence is it was on the U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln that George W Bush made one of biggest blunders when he told the American people “Mission Accomplished.” That was May 1, 2003. Seems his number stated going down after the American people figured out he was a little wrong with that assessment.
Okay, there was an article that New York Times took another shot at Bush.

Thanks for this insight, mimartin. I just hope it was received by the parties who need it.

The situation is that the media was scared after the New York Times' 9/11/2001 fiasco in which the public reacted to their article's sympathy to a terrorist calling for a boycott of New York Times among other things.
Also to get to the MSNBC situation, there have been accusations that MSNBC gave Code Pink protesters their press passes so they could attempt to disrupt the Republican Convention and I do know that the Code Pink People did have press passes.

I would tend to agree with Garfield had I not watched an interview that with Katie Couric that Bush gave a couple of years ago. He looked right at her, with that stupid, smug smile on his face and said, point-blank, that "...it's not torture."
And I've despised the man ever since.
In all fairness it's not to say that the media and the Obama campaign haven't cultivated and then capitalized on all of the Bush-hate for their own purposes. They have, yes, but it's also not to say that Bush hasn't generously provided them with a ton of ammunition from the beginning.
Don't think that this is a pathological hatred, just a reporting. :)
I suppose giving press passes to CODE PINK in order to disrupt the Republican convention is just reporting too...

Because liberal journalists show pride in their preferred candidate winning the presidential election, and it's immediately uncouth behavior for proper journalists, but Conservatives are allowed to belittle the man with absolutely no factual basis for argument, and for Fox News, which you seem particularly fond of, it is completely acceptable to pick constantly on the one Liberal voice on their station, Colmes, who is now retiring. No, seriously, they pick on him like snot-nosed toddlers, shining flashlights in his eyes, calling him names, etc. Tells you what kind of behavior conservatives expect from their journalists.
Every news outlet does that, so I don't see why it's a crime for CBS to do it.
It is when they are editting it to try to advance a political agenda. Furthermore, not every news station does it. Fox News only split up Bill O'Reilly's interviews with Hillary, Obama, and McCain on seperate nights because it wouldn't all fit in one show, but they aired the entire interview.
I wasn't aware there was a hotel called Rathergate. What happened there?
It was a scandal that brought down CBS's host Dan Rather because he used fraudulent documents to try to smear President Bush during the 2004 election.

Wasn't Dan Rather employed by CBS?
Joe Lockhart, the Kerry aide who called CBS's source, former Texas Guardsman Bill Burkett, dismissed the charge as "a smear campaign" by Republicans. Another Kerry aide, Michael McCurry, said Kerry has been briefed and is "satisfied" with Lockhart's explanation that it was an innocuous conversation. -- Washington Post: White House Links Memos, Kerry Effort (

Our current mindset on Bush is what your saying. He is the most hated president in current US history. We have had others who were equal to or wose than Bush; however, events following their reign have proven otherwise. Many people who live in the US focus on short-term events. Four to eight years from now people will be saying Bush Who?. Historians will judge him on the events following his administration. Obama's actions or inactions will be center stage for the next four years. How the world changes from here forward can either redeem or reinforce people's perception of Bush. Obama has to stand up and play healer now; however, he must do so without compromising the American public's interest. Its a tough job.

Actually, the words were, "...we don't torture." (
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/09/06/five_years/main1980074_page3.shtml) And yes, I saw the entire interview, because it took place at the time when Bush was asking Congress to split hairs over whether or not the treatment of the detainees was lawful and I was actually interested in that sort of thing at the time.
You know, as politically active as you are, I find it rather hard to believe that you don't know to which interview that I'm referring. I mean, how many one-on-one interviews with Katie Couric has Bush held?

I will go on record as a witness. I saw the same interview. I agreed with the use of small scale torture; nevertheless, those comments gave me a chill. Publicly admitting the use of torture is political suicide; thus, I understand why he came out with the statement.

First, you only saw what CBS chose to let you see. Second, I've got my problems with Bush, just the Democrats chose either lunatics or people that have competitency issues to run against him. If the Democrats had Evan Bayh run against Bush in 2004, instead of John Kerry I would have voted for Bayh.
Fact is I think Bush exercised poor judgment in appointing who he appointed and choosing his running mate. Do you have any evidence that Bush signed off on actually torturing prisoners like what happened in Abu Grabe (sp?), cause Gitmo's living conditions look like a tropical resort compared to the prison system we see in the United States.
Of course. Not that it was news to me. I've known that Rather was full of it since the '80s.
The fact is what Rather and CBS did was beyond bias, if it had been a private citizen and not a public figure whom is in the spotlight constantly, they would have been sued for slander. I still thing President Bush should have sued them.
4-8 years from now people won't be saying "bush who?", he and his administration have royally screwed up this country and it will take years to recover from this.

I see why people are currently angry with him; however, I think history will have the final word. I don't remember all the bad or good of the Clinton era. Does anyone remember in great detail about the Pursian Gulf War? Desert Storm? Those events should have justified Bush's invasion; however, they we so long ago people dismissed them.

First I don't care what the international community things at this time. If you think government is corrupt now, wait till the Chicago Mob gets its grips in the White House. You think the debt is bad now, wait for the trillions in new spending and insanely large tax increases get pushed through, you think two wars are bad, wait for the next terrorist attack because Obama pulls out before we finish the job in Afghanistan and Iraq, which will become breeding grounds for more terrorists. You think it's bad now, just wait for what could potentially be a second holocaust.

That's a ridiculous exaggeration. Why would Obama being president logically lead to a holocaust?
