Yes, they did.....right up until last fall. No they did not give Bush a free pass. They didn't even give him a completly free pass on Iraq, and they certainly questioned and attacked him on other issues. Tim, I have very little patience with ignorance. I read both the American and Brit. papers from 2001 to 2004. The Brits were breaking major stories that were injurious to the war in Iraq and the Bush administration while the American media hardly mentioned them, putting them in the back pages of their publications if at all. It happened repeatedly until some time in late 2003 when the American media finally grew a set. The NY Times has admitted as much. And the reason they were so lame is because they were afraid of looking unpatriotic..........in other words, the intimidation tactics of the right had worked. As a consequence, I have lost respect for the American press.......they let Bush get away with murder and commit us to a war that could be our undoing. ted
