Jonah Goldberg: "Can Obama Rescue Bush?"

by Chris Jones on July 1, 2008 · 2 comments

Jonah Golderg has another excellent piece in today’s L.A. Times. His latest piece looks at how President Bush may be judged by history. He concludes that historians will probably not judge the Bush administration as being particularly out of the mainstream as compared with past administrations.

I agree with Goldberg on this one. President Bush has certainly made some controversial decisions, but the picture painted by the radical left is one of a lawless, rogue administration. Like Goldberg, I don’t think historians will reach those same conclusions. As Jonah rightly points out, if Iraq ends up becoming a stable Democracy then history will have a very different view of President Bush.

    We have all been hearing endless testimony from a lot of people about a left leaning bias in the media. No concrete examples were ever provided, and yet the ranting and raving continued ad infinitum, even ad nauseam. However, it looks as though there may actually be something to it. Jonah Goldberg of the National Review Online offers a different explanation: reporters are just favoring the frontrunner. As he puts it, “most of the reporters covering campaigns want to be rewarded with White House correspondence jobs.” They might also just want ease of access to the next President of the United States. John Harris and Jim VandeHei of Politco offer a different view. They report that a study from the Project for Excellence in Journalism, funded by the Pew Research Center, found that over 60% of McCain stories were negative, with Obama having twice the number of positive coverage than McCain. VandeHei states in a video opinion that members of the GOP may be playing the blame game at the end of the campaign trail. “There’s always a pile on at the end of a campaign,” he says, but he opines that criticism of McCain has been due to his policies and campaign strategies. Journalists, it seems, love a frontrunner with momentum, and that seems to be what Obama what is giving them. Momentum can be restored to your budget with quick cash loans, if you need one, but it is only temporary. Is it possible that someone other than the frontrunner can bring lasting change to America?
