Kerch after Soviet withdrawal [photo at link]

On the Eastern Front... In the face of staunch German attacks by 11th Army forces, the Red Army begins to withdraw from the Kerch Peninsula. About 80,000 Red Army troops are successfully evacuated.

In Burma... The Chinese 6th Army in retreat is pursued by the Japanese across the Salween towards for Kengtung.

Headline: "Roosevelt’s Conduct of War Approved by 8 Out of 10 Voters, Gallup Poll Finds (Gallup) – 10"

And this near the low point of the war for the Allies.

So consider: if the NY Times and other "mainstream media" had treated President Roosevelt the same way it treated, oh, say, Nixon or Bush II, FDR's disapproval would be around "8 out of 10 voters."
