"How did it come to pass that an opposition's measure of a president's foreign policy was all or nothing, success or "failure"? The answer is that the political absolutism now normal in Washington arrived at the moment--Nov. 7, 2000--that our politics subordinated even a war against terror to seizing the office of the presidency." - Daniel Henninger - WSJ 11/18/05

Oops....no issues with objectivity here...Jonah Goldberg, blogging at The Corner at NRO posted a link to an AP article regarding the approval of a $463.5 billion spending bill.
From The Corner:
"Here's the opening of an "objective" AP news story:
WASHINGTON - The House passed a $463.5 billion spending bill Wednesday that covers about one-sixth of the federal budget as Democrats cleared away the financial mess they inherited from Republicans."
I wouldn't imagine this would influence anyone adversely....it's in the news...it must be fact....
