Pew Poll: Bush Not Treated Fairly by Press
Nearly 50 percent of Americans believe the press is unfair to the Bush administration, according to a new Pew Research Center. Similarly, an increasing number of Americans say the press is too critical of the administration.
"Republican perceptions of press coverage of Bush have changed dramatically,� noted the survey.
More than 60 percent of self-identified Republicans believe the press is unfair and too critical of Bush. Just 16 percent of self-identified Democrats believe the press is unfair, and 45 percent say the press has not been critical enough of the president.
Republican perceptions are bolstered by a report released in July by the non-partisan Center for Media and Public Affairs. In "No Second Term Media Honeymoon for Bush,� the Center found network coverage of President Bush was twice as negative – two times as many negative-leaning stories as positive-leaning stories - in the first 100 days of the president’s second term.

Honey, with darling George's approval rating at 36%, the numbers you have listed from Pew don't jibe. How can 50% of America believe he gets bad press, but still disapprove at a whopping 69%? That's more that what he won by last year. Maybe someone needs to question where they get their information?
