How Much Better Would These Numbers Be If the MSM Had Done Their Job?

Just a thought. How much better (certainly 10% at least) would President Bush's approval numbers be if the press hadn't vilified him since day one? What if they hadn't shown their true colors even before he was inaugurated? You mean you don't remember the haters throwing stuff at his inaugural parade to the Capital? I do. You don't remember the MSM metaphorically spitting on the President when he tried to extend the olive branch to one of their favourite liberal demagogues in Ted Kennedy? I do.

So in this piece by Brent Baker, he highlites that the MSM at large (and CBS in particular) can't let their collective hatred go, even when the current president is just ONE day from leaving office. Have they not read their own slobbering love for Obama? He won. Let it go.

UPDATE:

An exellent find by a commentor named "CobraMan," that I failed to notice:

"Mr. Bush's final approval rating is the lowest final rating for an outgoing president since Gallup began asking about presidential approval more than 70 years ago."
Too bad for CBS that Gallup did NOT run this poll. Why don't they show the last GALLUP poll results, if they are going to cite them? Could it be that the last Gallup poll has Bush at 34 percent?
