Instead of responding point by point, I'll simplify things and say that you close to 100% wrong on most of what you say in your post and where any point is partially right you exaggerated it. I will respond to this one question. They where not. Even the conservative media didn't give him a free pass, and the liberal side of the media has been criticizing him since before Iraq. Then why has paper after paper apologized for giving Bush a free pass? They haven't apologized for "giving Bush a free pass". They have apologized for not being more skeptical about certain claims about Iraq and WMD. 1 - That is a far cry from totally giving Bush a free pass. 2 - If a number of papers where not sufficiently skeptical that doesn't mean Bush got a free pass even on this subset of one specific issue because other publications or news sources where more skeptical. Bush doesn't "get a free pass" if a subset of news organizations isn't very skeptical about his claims in one area of one issue for a certain period of time. Bush would have gotten a free pass if all news and opinions sources accepted his version of the story, on all subsets of all issues all the time. Tim
