I can't seem to find a link between your title and the article other than they both involve the media and left wingers.

I am not surprised by this in the slightest. The President of the United States rarely, if ever, has to actually face the press. The joke that is called a press conference is a staged affair. The press is free to ask what they want but will never get called on to ask another question if they ask the wrong question.
This is true of Bush as it has been of just about every President going back, at least, to WWII.
Knowing how journalism is practiced other parts of the world the President doesn't get nearly as rough a ride as he should. In Canada we have what is called a "media scrum". After question period (the time in Parliament when the government and the Prime Minister must stand and face the questions of the Opposition Parties) the PM nmakes his way back to his offices and is subject to questions from the press. They literally surround him and ask whatever they would like. This is not a staged affair.
The President is treat much more like English royalty. You must address him in certain ways, ask only prepared questions, etc. I find it odd...
