As for Big Media's biased Iraq coverage, we really can't do anything about that since most in the MSM don't like Bush¹ in the first place. And he'll be there for 3 more years, so expect more of the same from the MSM.

¹ Just compare their disgraceful and very anti-Bush coverage on Katrina to the more restrained tone in reporting the riots in Paris.
