The argument over whether reporters are liberal towards U.S. President George W. Bush, is tired and stale. According to the newspaper Washington Post's White House correspondent John Harris the new President has done things with relative impunity that would have been huge uproars if they had occurred under ex-President Bill Clinton. Add to this the rapid decline of what constitutes verifiable news among the most high-minded journalistic institutions. Harris gingerly notes that his colleagues may have fallen a bit out of shape at the hard work of examining, exposing, and critiquing public officials as they go about making the decisions that affect national life.
