I've been reading all over the place how badly things are going for US President Bush - disaster after disaster that now threaten to make his administration ineffectual for the next 3 years.
Along comes Michael Barone with a different take on last week's events.
"George W. Bush's administration has come through what many have been saying would be its worst week, and it has turned out to be -- well, if not one of the best, then one that is far more encouraging than most of the mainstream media expected."
Yes, he actually means that good things happened last week that lay the foundation for the Bush administration to make advances in its agenda.
What a difference in perspective from most of the accounts I've read. Which points out how the overwhelming majority of news reposting is really analysis/opinion pieces, not just factual reporting of events. I suppose it's a part of contemporary society, that we want reporting on the "feeling" of things, how people react to news, and not just the events themselves.
