[FAIR](http://www.fair.org) is a fairly partisan organization–or rather, liberal, since they criticize overly favorable coverage of Democrats as well as Republicans. [Salon](http://www.salon.com) is a fairly iconoclastic online magazine. Yes, both have been extremely critical of Bush.

That being said, I have not seen anything which contradicts the arguments made in the articles I linked. I would prefer if you addressed the _substance_ of those arguments, rather than claiming that the source itself is illegitimate. Pretty please?

(Oh, and lovely strawman in your final paragraph. I’m going to lunch.)

Hi, SouthernStyle. If you’ll allow that Bush’s “team” speaks for him (since he’s been largely silent personally since the election, as has Gore)
