UK - BBC Clueless on Bush

The absolute cluelessness of this BBC report is stunning.

Here's the BBC headline "Bush prepares for low-key address".

This is the State of the Union address being given while the US is involved in Iraq and the broader war on terror, Bush has just filled two seats on the Supreme Court (defeating the Democrats once again)and all the scandals the Democrats keep trying create keep backfiring on them. This speech will be anything but "low key".

Iraq has held 3 successful elections, adopted their constitution and the entire country seems to be turning on Zarqawi. As a result the US has dropped its troop strength by 20% and will continue to wind down this year.

Add to that, the US economy is booming.

All of which means Bush can direct his attention to things like health care and education.

Don't worry the BBC gets even more clueless as the report goes on.

Mr Bush is enduring a prolonged slump in public support amid ongoing conflict in Iraq and political strife at home. [...]

With Mr Bush's approval ratings hovering around 41%, aides suggested that he would not announce any radical reform packages.

Someone wake the BBC up, Bush's approval rating is hovering around 50% and was actually at 50% just yesterday.

And now for the infamous "Correspondents say".

Correspondents say Mr Bush's domestic plans are shaped by a sullen response to a series of embarrassments during the past 12 months.

Well, the lying left wing media who hate Bush would say that wouldn't they.

Flash for the BBC, the majority of Americans (over 60%) support Bush on the NSA wiretaps (a media created non scandal), no one cares about the Plame affair (ditto), and the LA Governor and New Orleans mayor are largely responsible for the Katrina response disaster. But you wouldn't know that given the way the lying left wing media like the BBC reported it.

How clueless is the BBC? This clueless.

The speech comes at a time of intense diplomatic efforts to bring Iran back to the negotiating table over its nuclear plans.

Does this sound like that to you?

Foreign ministers from Russia, China, Britain, France and the United States -- the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council -- decided at a two-day meeting in London to ask the IAEA to take the case of Iran's nuclear program to the Security Council.

I want my TV tax back.
