Inside Politics

"Both ABC News and The Washington Post ignored their own poll that showed a majority of Americans support electronic eavesdropping by the FBI and the NSA to combat terrorism — but they did report some poll results that fit their liberal media agenda," the Media Research Center reports at www.mrc.org.
Instead, ABC's "World News Tonight" and "Good Morning America," as well as The Post, "all stressed how 80 percent believe 'civil war' is likely in Iraq," the MRC said.
"ABC anchor Elizabeth Vargas and political commentator George Stephanopoulos also ignored Bush's approval level of 41 percent, 7 points higher than the 'all-time low' for Bush last week in a CBS News poll which was much-touted by the networks. That 41 percent number, however, is just 1 point lower than the 42 percent level in the last ABC News/Washington Post poll conducted in January — well within the 3-point margin of error.
"Nonetheless, on Tuesday's 'Good Morning America,' Robin Roberts asserted that 'President Bush's job approval rating has sunk to a new career low.'"
