I’m getting many e-mails like this:

I listened to Cavuto’s interview with W and I think you’re being a bit unfair in your criticism. He asked the question in the context of Social Security, noting the polls suggest the President is having a hard time getting his message out to the American people. My reaction to the question was that it was a proxy for the more direct (and less politic) question:
“Does the focus of the media on vapid, titillating stories like the Michael Jackson trial make it more difficult for you as President to get the public engaged on complex, real-world issues such as the financial stability of the Social Security system?”
I’m not in the tank for Cavuto but fair is fair. He was trying to get W to chastise the media for wasting time on stories of no lasting consequence while giving the big, life-altering stories short shrift….

I had not seen or read the whole interview when I linked to it (just the Sullivan post). But you can here and see that context.
