Your skin is showing

Hmm... "Bush Gets More Bad News from Iraq". A bunch of murders and such in Iraq. While this is certainly bad news, one wonders why it's only Bush that's getting it. Are the rest of us not troubled by it? What about the Iraqis? Isn't this pretty bad news for them?

Of course, if the press is only concerned about what's going on in the world in terms of how it affects Bush's political position, then this kind of approach makes perfect sense, I guess, though I wonder if we should be a little disturbed by our press's focus.

In general, though, I wish the press would spend less time telling the public what the public thinks. Maybe the press could report the events of the world, and leave determining public opinion to... you know... the public.
