FYI! Oklahoman does it again -- pegs the liberal media on the editorial page!

Fox News' Brit Hume best captured the media turnaround, telling Waller, "That's why it's so great to be a journalist. You don't have to adhere to any fixed principles of any kind."

Special Report is must-see TV. FOX News' premier news program.

We watched very little of the mainstream media and relied mainly on Fox News. Repetitive as it was and at times bordering on sensationalism, the reporters were on the mark especially their embeds. Tony Snow and Brit did wonderful jobs as did Neil C., he was eloquent at times. The bias came from the usual suspects and they are still spinning.

This little story has been going around and is pretty much on the mark:

The Pope is visiting DC and President Bush takes him out for an afternoon on the Potomac, sailing on the Pres. Yacht. They're admiring the sights when, all of a sudden, the Pope's hat (zucchetto) blows off his head and out into the water. Secret service guys start to launch a boat, but Bush waves them off, saying "Wait, wait. I'll take care of this. Don't worry."

Bush then steps off the yacht onto the surface of the water and walks out to the Holy Father's little hat, bends over and picks it up, then walks back to the yacht and climbs aboard. He hands the hat to the Pope amid stunned silence.

The next morning, the Washington Post carries a story, with front page photos, of the event. The banner headline is "Bush Can't Swim"
