I feel that the silver lining in this cloud is the further exposing of the mainstream media's agenda. Their credibility has been teetering, and this one issue could constitute a catharsis, not certainly for the hardcore Bush haters, but those who are still trying to decide about right and wrong, and whether or not to feel fear or anger, or both.
A lot more people will begin to "consider the source" over the way these two issues have been presented, IMHO.

I agree about people waking up to the lack of credibility of the press. I do hope that the tide turns, but it must be that those on the Right ramp up their efforts in countering the leftist view that is continuously put before the American people (beginning in Kindergarten).
