don't need studies, just watch tv. Most major networks are clearly anti-Bush. Sometimes you don't need studies, just observations. Watch 4 hours worth of network news (other than Fox) and tell me they don't have something that is anti-Bush administration or critical of it, whether it's "truth" to you or not doesn't matter, it's there. It being "truth" or not is debatable, depending on which side you are on.

Also, right before the Iraq war, there was an extremely high approval to invade...I don't attribute that to the news as much as I do to the fact that at the time, we thought Iraq was a threat and the echo of 911 was still in everyone's ears. Not to mention most of our elected officials, both democrats and republicans stood up in congress and argued for war. The media wasn't the only one who wanted to go to war, almost everyone did.
