"The editor of Newsweek, during the 2004 campaign, admitted that the media was rooting for Kerry to win, and that was probably worth about 10 percentage points in the polls." Right. Which is why all of those articles that were negative about him were all over the media like the Swift Boaters. With support like that... I find it amusing that now you have pushed the goal posts out to 2004 from their earlier place at before the 2000 election. "The media's pro-Bush bias fizzled about a year or two after 9/11" Not hardly. The media was solidly behind him in the run up to the war, through the "embedded" operations and beyond. "Before 9/11, the media was decidedly anti-Bush." As his popularity tanked after the election, they did briefly start to turn against him. But, even then, the focus was pretty much on his "awe shucks" approach and how nice it would be to have a beer with him.
