As has every other MSM reporter.
I challenge anyone to find a single MSM puff piece (the kind we saw daily re the Clinton administration) on GWB dating back to the 2000 campaign.
Even when the good news is unavoidable, it gets a negative spin.
Last week ABC radio news ran a story on an unexpected surge in jobs. The "however" was quickly injected, advising us all that it may cause inflation to go up and force the Fed to raise interest rates.
That's the kind of reporting we've seen/heard every day and every hour for six years.
The MSM may be losing its influence, but this kind of constant bashing is bound to take a toll.

Maybe you don't remember, or were too young to notice at the time, but the very same, exact formula was used by the MSM during the Reagan administration. Every single piece of good news was followed by a "however," it was just as predictable as Chevy Chase saying "I'm Here, and You're Not" at the end of Weekend Update. The tactic of offsetting every good unemployment report with fearmongering about the inflation rate and the Fed raising interest rates started during Reagan.
The MSM has lost an incredible amount of their former power, but not in their own minds. Like the Al Pacino character in Scarface, they've become their own best customers, snorting their own product by the bucketful and acting irrational.
