You haven't been watching the BBC lately, Bill, evidently. Last Sunday night's program was simply reporting this and that and the other. Just not cheerleading. You are back to thinking of the world in binary terms rather than as you do about political strategy in which it's a little more of this and a little less of that. The BBC has a great deal less US cheerleading and a great deal more analytical distance. There is also that Brit cool, distant style. Just more than a little bit different from the Blitzer, talk as loud as you can, and mirror the admins point of view.

Krugman's point, sigh, is not that the cable guys are trying to please the Bushies; his point is that the structure is such they wish to please the powers that be. Now, obviously, since the world is not a single variable world, much else goes on. But this variable, which disappears in most analyses, needs to be kept in mind.
