When presented with evidence the US secretary of state refused to answer questions posed by a UK news presenter John snow working for ITN, has Bush actually ever answered any difficult questions?, would the White House press core shy away from asking why even British companies were being refused contracts despite being able to handle them more effectively (P&0 a UK shipping company was point blank rejected), would any high level US politician right now last 5 seconds on Hard Talk.
Even after spending hours on this very board which is without a doubt the best I have encountered for political discussion on an approachable level there still exists unfounded criticism for the source or at times the poster.
This would refer to the worst offenders of course, there have been some highly convincing right wing arguments. But after this rambling why are right wingers so apt to utterly dismiss anything they dont like and revert to vitual name calling, for the perfect example watch fox news.

Its politics and it works both ways. Much of the criticism is merely political, as is much of the dismissing. With an election on the way, everything has become over-politicized. Hard line democrats don't want Bush to accomplish anything, and hard line republicans don't want him to be perceived as doing anything wrong.
