I read that the support was actually more like lukewarm.

Yeah, in the Orange County Register today the headline on page one says, "Bush Cool to Simon." I about jumped out of my pajamas when I read that. Bush is here in California to stump for Simon and the paper says on the front page, the page for news, that he's cool to Simon.

They might as well print a large black square on the front page and put a headline above that says, "This square is white."

You know, in Russia, especially in the Cold War days everyone knew that Pravda printed mostly lies. But in some ways in this country our "free press" is worse because it touts itself as champions of free speech and the truth while printing only a little bit of truth with a lot of lies, or printing the truth with a lying headline. The Orange County Register used to be a decent paper not so long ago. It appears to be going the way of the LA Times. I am truly appalled.
