Bingo. And it's not that he's losing support with his base, we're just disappointed that he's not in any way fighting back against a press that is clearly adversarial and simply refuses to report things like the absoultely booming economy we're having and any good news from Iraq. If either are even reported on at all they're usually regulated to page 15 and get the "but" treatment (the economy is the best in 5 years, but....Iraq had their first free elections in 30 years, but...).
