An Eye for a Lie

The latest CBS News poll has very bad news for President Bush and Vice President Cheney.

The American people aren't happy with the Bush Administration.

That's being too kind. According to CBS, the overwhelming majority of Americans despise Bush and Cheney. In other words, huge numbers of Americans think like Howard Dean and Michael Moore and Cindy Sheehan and Saddam Hussein and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Osama bin Laden.

The latest CBS News poll finds President Bush's approval rating has fallen to an all-time low of 34 percent, while pessimism about the Iraq war has risen to a new high.

Americans are also overwhelmingly opposed to the Bush-backed deal giving a Dubai-owned company operational control over six major U.S. ports. Seven in 10 Americans, including 58 percent of Republicans, say they're opposed to the agreement.

...The troubling results for the Bush administration come amid reminders about the devastating impact of Hurricane Katrina and negative assessments of how the government and the president have handled it for six months.

In a separate poll, two out of three Americans said they do not think President Bush has responded adequately to the needs of Katrina victims. Only 32 percent approve of the way President Bush is responding to those needs, a drop of 12 points from last September’s poll, taken just two weeks after the storm made landfall.

...Mr. Bush's overall job rating has fallen to 34 percent, down from 42 percent last month. Fifty-nine percent disapprove of the job the president is doing.

For the first time in this poll, most Americans say the president does not care much about people like themselves. Fifty-one percent now think he doesn't care, compared to 47 percent last fall.

Just 30 percent approve of how Mr. Bush is handling the Iraq war, another all-time low.

By two to one, the poll finds Americans think U.S. efforts to bring stability to Iraq are going badly – the worst assessment yet of progress in Iraq.

Even on fighting terrorism, which has long been a strong suit for Mr. Bush, his ratings dropped lower than ever. Half of Americans say they disapprove of how he's handling the war on terror, while 43 percent approve.

...[Vice President Cheney's hunting accident] appears to have made the public's already negative view of Cheney a more so. Just 18 percent said they had a favorable view of the vice president, down from 23 percent in January.

Sounds pretty bad. Everything is a mess.

This presidency appears to be doomed. DOOMED!

On the CBS website, accompanying the analysis of these disastrous poll results for the Bush Administration, is this photo of the President.



Do you detect a slant?

Does President Bush look troubled?

Boo hoo.

Do the numbers seem to be just a tad extreme?

Of course, they seem that way because THEY ARE.

Apparently, CBS can't handle the truth.

Once again, in its well established tradition of creating "news," CBS puts out a misleading story, touting its poll as a legitimate indicator of opinion.

Greg Sheffield of NewsBusters reveals the bias in the CBS polling sample.

"Total Republicans" contacted: 272 unweighted and 289 weighted.

"Total Democrats" contacted: 409 unweighted and 381 weighted.

"Total Independents" contacted: 337 unweighted and 348 weighted.

CBS virtually guaranteed the findings before a single person responded to the poll. I suspect that before the actual numbers were tallied, the analysis of the results was written. The totals were probably plugged in later.

The reality is CBS poses liberal propaganda as truth.

If it's from CBS, you can assume that it is unreliable. This poll was a creation. It is as fake as the National Guard records that the disgraced and delusional Dan Rather still refuses to acknowledge as fraudulent.



Phony documents, phony polls. It should come as no surprise. It's CBS News.
