CBS Admits Support Up for Iraq Action, UN Not Trusted, But... CBS�s Bill Plante on Monday night acknowledged how a new CBS News poll found �support for taking military action soon has risen by nine points since last week� and Dan Rather followed up by pointing out how the poll found �58 percent now say the UN is doing a poor job of handling Iraq.� But, while Plante emphasized how �a majority still favors giving UN inspectors more time,� he skipped over how the poll determined that 55 percent would approve of military action against Iraq even if the UN did not support it and, once again, CBS refused to tell viewers that military action against Iraq is favored by 66 to 30 percent. 2. Klein Complains Bush is Causing France to be �Humiliated� Time columnist Joe Klein fumed on Monday�s Today that President Bush is forcing a vote at the UN �which will either result in...France being humiliated or the United States being humiliated.� Klein also claimed that Bush �doesn't seem to have much of a style of diplomacy and was too much of a �cowboy� during his press conference. 3. �Coalition of the Coerced� & Tax Cuts Contradict War on Terror The coalition behind Bush�s Iraq policy is only �a coalition of the coerced,� Time�s John Dickerson asserted on Sunday�s Chris Matthews Show while CBS�s Bob Schieffer blamed Bush�s opposition to Kyoto for losing the Germans before he admonished that �you can�t tell people one day that we gotta defeat terrorism and that it poses this grave threat to us but then the next day tell us, 'well we can do it with business as usual and cut taxes.'� 4. Lange �Resents� Equating of �Being Anti-War and Anti-American� Jessica Lange who, upset by President Bush's Iraq policy, charged during a press conference at a film festival in Spain last September that �it is an embarrassing time to be an American.... it's humiliating,� complained on Monday's Late Show that �the thing I resent most is...some kind of equation between being anti-war and anti-American.� 5. Vaughn & Grammer Show Not All Actors Enjoy Bashing America Not all Hollywood celebrities are as embarrassed about U.S. policy toward Iraq as Lange. Asked outside of the Screen Actors Guild Awards Sunday night about the war, Kelsey Grammer professed support for it and Vince Vaughn, who is scheduled to be the guest host of the Late Show with David Letterman on Tuesday night (tonight), had a regular comeback when he was in England, USA Today disclosed, for those who denounced America: �I'd ask folks to think about the Marshall Plan a bit and get back to me."

To them, the media seem dominated by a White House war machine that is intimidating sheepish reporters. Helen Thomas, who doesn't ask questions so much as accuse the administration of heinous motives and declare that President Bush is the worst leader in our history, is their kind of �reporter.� Some in the press are hearing these left-wing complaints and rushing to counter-program against the apparently oppressive grip of Bush media dominance. Last week, the anti-war media forum... Read the latest column written by L.
