I often think of this 'get the president' mentality that the media
portrays and whether it is due to the conservatism of the press.  I
don't really think that it is a conservative/liberal thing.  The press
has developed this attitude that they must inform us of everything
proven or not.  We have gone from the days of Walter Cronkite where the
story was checked, double checked, and all of the facts were solid to
the current tabloid style of being the first one to report something
before checking, without proof.  Limbaugh for all that he is, is *not*
the media.  He is better classified as political entertainment.  His
attacks are even less substantial than the media's.  He at least is
honestly stating his viewpoint and admiting his biases.

Oh my god, I've given him a compliment.  It must be time to get back to
work.
