Yeah, and I thought the media was pretty tough on Carter, too. I think
nothing aided Reagan MORE than CBS announcing the number of days the
hostages had been in Iran at the close of every nightly broadcast...

It seems to me the broadcast media are not anti-Reagan or leftist, but
rather that they play up negative occurences (it's got to be NEWS,
right?) and thus tend to cut down WHOEVER is in office. It is probably
no coincidence that no incumbent President, Republican or Democrat, has 
served two terms since Eisenhower.
