I don't take such a sanguine view of the media. They were proclaiming that the economy was fabulous under Clinton. The media went along with Clinton's 1992 claims that the economy under George Bush Sr. was the worst in 50 years. That is NOT just incompetence, that is active partisanship to help the Democrats. And the day AFTER the election, Peter Jennings announced that the US had just experienced its 6th month of economic growth. But I didn't hear ANYTHING positive from him in the 5 previous months. Incompetence, yes; but the media is partisan toward Democrats, and nothing that this guy writes can convince me otherwise.

In early January 2001, I asked a co-worker how long it would take before the media brought the homeless out from under the covers after Bush was inaugurated. The Tampa Tribune ran a series in early February on the "rising number of homeless" in our area.

Ah yes. The homeless came back in vogue once a Republican was back in the White House.
