The Bush rightwing cannot blame the media for anything, the Bush rightwing has controlled more of the media than any other administration in memory through a combination of corporate control of radio (dominated by well-financed rightwing shows), clear support from the only truly biased network Fox News, intimidation of the media especially in the lead-up to the war, lying to and hoodwinking the media like they did with Judith Miller of the NY Times, paying journalists to write Bush-friendly articles, effectively using the rightwing echo chamber to put out huge falsehoods which 50% of the people start believing and attacks on such "liberal" media figures as Dan Rather, PBS, the NY Times and more.

Now the shoe is on the other foot. Bush has been in power long enough to have a proven record of results. So the media can judge him on his results not his promises of rhetoric, and only a fool or diehard rightwinger would like anything he sees. Bush is basically a failed presdient and his rightwing congress is corrupt and incompetent. They all need the boot and most in the media recognize this. Most people realise it. And most voters will vote that way in the next two elections.
