Cavuto Lobs Softballs To Bush, Displays "Conservative Media Bias."

<snip>

For example, Cavuto asks about the upcoming fifth anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. In a lengthy answer, Bush offers:

BUSH: But I know it's a war, and I think about it every day of my presidency. I think about Al Qaeda every day. I'm asking questions all the time. Are we doing everything we can to protect this country?

But we know that during a 2002 press conference -- just seven months after the terrorist attacks, Bush said this about Osama Bin Laden:

BUSH: You know, I just don't spend that much time on him, Kelly, to be honest with you.

Is it liberal nit-picking to reference a quote from four years ago? Should Americans assume there is a huge difference between talking about "Al Qaeda" and talking about "Osama Bin Laden?" Cavuto should have asked about the apparent contradiction. Instead, he accepted the answer as unquestionable fact and moved on.

1. Cavuto is a typical neocon kissy face. Perfect for Fox.

3. O'Reilly is the worst
because some conservatives label him a moderate, and he is more likely to appear on mainstream shows like Letterman and The Daily Show than Gibson, Cavuto or Hannity.
