CBS radio and other media spun them as "the middle-class tax-cuts with bipartisan support," but let's name names: It was the Bush Tax Cuts that were extended overwhelmingly by the House and Senate yestersay.

It was the Bush Tax Cuts that were approved even by such caustic democrat partisans as Tom Daschle and Charles Rangel -- though they carped as they did it.

And quite frankly it was the Bush Tax Cuts that jumpstarted the economy and have it growing steadily now, despite the shock of 9/11.

No wonder Mr. Bush leads nationally (even in the CBS poll!) and in crucial states like Florida and Ohio -- though the press wants to spin those as "slight" leads.

Even "Futures Market" bettors are now favoring Mr. Bush to win. Nothing important there, says the media.

In completely unconnected news: Public confidence in the media is at a 30-year low.
