I don't think it started with this administration although they are certainly keeping it that way. The U.S. media clings to what they think will sell. They will lean more liberal when they have a Democrat in power and they will lean more conservative when there is a Republican in power. They aren't going to ask the tough questions to George W when he's got a 60% approval rating. If it really took a dive, then they would jump all over it. Which we may see in the coming election.
