Rich Lowry, over at The Corner notes that the reporting on Iraq from the usual leftist suspects has become rather positive. Rich calls this…. correctly, I think…. hedging their bets.
It’s not all that hard to see the pattern. Consider the election of Bush 41, and the reports on polling for same. The polling data and stories were unquestionably negative. Until, that is, about a week before the election, when for no apparent reason, the polling numbers started taking shape for a large Republican Landslide.
THe press now, as then, is has begun to see that they’re not going to be able to sway this one, so they start swinging numbers and reports back toward the truth.
After all, it wouldn’t do to be projecting gloom and doom up to the day before the great victory…. their biases being thus exposed.
