The MSM abandoned the pretense of objectivity and neutrality a long time ago. They believe that Bush is an illegitimate president, and his re-election in 2004 only infuriated them more. Failing to "elect" Gore in 2000, failing to influence the mid-term elections in '02, failing to elect Kerry in Bush's place in '04, and failing to light a fire calling for Bush's impeachment, the MSM now simply affirms Bush's "illegitimacy" by driving his poll numbers down. They certainly hate Bush, but they would have worked their corrosive magic on any Republican in the White House.

Well stated.

I think the MSM just gave up on all journalistic objectivity during the 1988 election when they went full bore, hard core, pedal to the metal to get Dukakis elected. They have been actively campaigning for Democrats (whoever they are) against Republicans (whoever they are) ever since.
