Americans give President Bush strong marks for the way he has responded to the terrorist attacks on New York and Washington, pushing his job-approval scores to the highest levels of his presidency, according to polls conducted earlier this week.
A CBS News survey of 1,041 adults, conducted Sept. 11 and 12, reported that 76 percent of Americans approved of the way that Mr. Bush has handled the government's response to the attacks. That helped raise his job-approval rating to 72 percent, the poll showed. An NBC News-Wall Street Journal poll of 618 adults showed that 80 percent approved of Mr. Bush's handling of the crisis and only 8 percent disapproved.

Rather, Jennings, Brokaw, Couric, & Gumbel et al. have ALWAYS been out-of-touch with the mainstream of America.
Lets face it:
The dominant media culture is part of the HATE AMERICA 7 "BLAME AMERICA FIRST" brigade.
Bush is a proxy for America.
To be brutally frank,
it was too damn bad that three or four network outlets with leftist execs & so-called "reporters" & anchormen, were not blown up,
along with a few dozen Anti-American leftists in Hollywood &
the the Marxists in the UN, if we HAD to loose American lives.
We lost the WRONG Amercian lives altogether.
Three (out of three) of them, so far, are friends or close mutual acquaintances of mine.
This may be (slightly irrational) anger at the traitors (or near traitors) that are in the anchor desks safe and continuing their
unfettered, unimhibtited, brazen, arrogant, self-righteous, insensitive, knee-jerk (or, worse, wholly intentional)
campaign
of tearing down the President in a time of WAR.

News Flash to all TV Anchormen/Women: You are not as important as you thought you were.
Peter Jennings and his ilk are trying like mad to make Americans doubt Bush's leadership. They are in a panic. I have just read on here where FR people should join together and love everybody at a time like this. Bull. The day I love the newtwork news media people it will be a cold day you know where, and if I do profess to love then I hope I will be put in a straight jacket to protect myself and others.
One day they are all low key, the next day they are attacking Bush saying he doesn't inspire confidence, he is hiding information . . .
If the President is indeed 'hiding information' it's for a very good reason: Constitutional duty. It is his job to look after the national security of the United States, and you can't do that with a flapping mouth or quivering lower lip.
Also, suppose some of that 'information' is damaging to the Clintons and now is not the time to release it?
Do you approve of the way President Bush is handling our national crisis?
Yes, he is doing a superb job
No, I am disappointed
Could be better, could be worse
I have no opinion
Yeah and the liberal democrats are having a really bad week:
1. The military will now be getting their funding back BY POPULAR DEMAND...if you know what I mean.
2. I'm still not sure if it's true but didn't the workers at the twin tower site recover some people who where in an SUV (they're so evil and bad for us to have you know)
3. Some Democrats just can't help but criticize the president much to their own demise(ie:REP. Meehan and Neal) and
4. Dubya's polling numbers are going through the roof.
You know I just can't help but say,"I feel your pain."
Since it's hunting season gun sales should be up.
