Press Bias Watch

The current top headline on Yahoo is an item from the AP entitled "Bush Attempts Hard Sell on Iraq Progress." It's essentially an editorial. The first three paragraphs continue in the same vein:

President Bush's depiction of Iraqi security forces as "helping to turn the tide" is difficult to square with persistent setbacks in handing control of the country back to its own people.

His suggestion that Americans are solidly behind the mission also understates opposition at home, and his hard sell on the rising quality of Iraqi forces overlooks complexities on the ground.

Bush on Wednesday declared the Iraqi army and police forces are "increasingly taking the lead in the fight against the terrorists," even as recruits patrol
Iraq's most violent cities barely three months after learning how to use weapons and police forces struggle to get officers to come to work.

I suppose someone might point out that it is a signed story (signed stories typically venture more into opinion territory than unsigned ones), but I don't recall ever seeing a signed story expressing a conservative viewpoint as the top item from the AP on Yahoo.
