    I would have to say there is a bit too obvious a bias in that article.

    I agree mostly with Seamus. I would add that the use of the adjective 'gushed' is unwarranted and polemical. Also, the juxtaposition of Bush's statements that there is massive support for the troops at home with the statistics about Bush's handling of the war. Bush was right here: there IS massive support for the troops themselves. Many people disagree with Bush's policies and handling of the war and still support the troops.

    So yes, IMHO, the article does show too much liberal bias. I wouldn't use it as an example to show a left-wing media conspiracy, however; many articles by Fox 'News' are just as or even more biased towards the right. But fair is fair, and this article isn't.

    Well for another time - I agree with Hurin.
