When the media is so obviously biased - Bush/Cheney might be able to humorously use this to advantage, highlighting the bias and addressing the subject issue, by rephrasing the question to what it should have been. For example:
Moderator: "So, now that we are losing in Iraq, the world hates us, and everything's going to hell in the mideast - tell me what you're going to do fix all that."
Bush/Cheney: "Thank you for asking about our progress in fighting terrorism. We indeed are making Iraq a more stable country, which will serve as the lynchpin for democracy in the middle east. And as you mentioned, the war effort is indeed going very well, with the pacification of the vast majority of provinces in Iraq, and the steady eradication of radical forces who are fighting the new government and democratic progress in Iraq."

Version B: (with sarcasm) "Thanks for asking about the tremendous progress that we are making in Iraq. It was good of you to mention the world's views, since 30 nations have joined our commitment to liberate Iraq; it was good also that you spoke of 'losing' because when we lose 1 man in Samarra, killing 125 terrorist insurgents and capturing another 100, it really is a setback - just not to us. We will persevere, and if it looks like losing when we mop up the remaining several thousand insurgents and terrorists, so be it, we'll just
Now our plan to win the victory in Iraq we all want is simple, and its working: The four point plan from my May speech to the Army War College is a good plan. So good, in fact,that Senator Kerry grausly lifted from it to create his own 4 pount plan. I had 5 points, but point 1 - Iraqi sovereignty, was achieved in June.
So we are moving ahead with the other 4 points: Get Iraqi security forces trained, equipped and able to provide security in Iraq on their own; go ahead with elections in January; continue to rebuild the contry's infrastructure; and get more nations involved. We are doing all these things, making great progress, and we are succeeding despite the best efforts of terrorist enemies to foil us.
War, by the way, does not need 'fixing', it needs winning."
