Did we mention Brent Bozell is a clown?

Just making sure.

But let's highlight another part of his recent column, where the tightly wound conservative writer explains that it's because of media bias that Obama enjoys sky-high job approval ratings, why very few voters blame the Obama administration for today's economic woes, and why the number of people who think America is heading in the right direction has tripled under the Democrat.

One word: media bias. (Well okay, two words.)

Bozell decided the latest WashPost poll wasn't accurate and the poll itself was part of an elaborate ruse by the media to shower Obama with good news. Or something like that.

So Bozell goes to work and does his best to show that Americans don't really support Obama. What's really going on is that the Post and the pollsters have stacked the deck. And Bozell can prove it. Like the part where the Post/pollsters asked Americans who was to blame for the downturn.

Watch Bozell in action [emphasis added]:

“How much of the blame do you think [fill in the blank] deserves for the country's economic situation?” The choices were corporations, banks, consumers, the Bush team, and the Obama administration. There's a built-in pro-Obama bias in there already: assigning blame to Obama for the current economy when he's been in office for nine weeks just seems harsh to most people. But just because they (correctly) don't blame him as the primary cause for our current woes, this doesn't mean for a second that the public endorses his “solutions,” as the Post suggests.

Bozell claims the Post read too much into the poll results because Americans never said they endorsed Obama's “solutions” the way the daily claimed. But here's the thing--the Post never claimed the public endorsed Obama's solutions. The world “solution” does not appear in the Post article and does not appear anywhere in the poll itself. Bozell just made that part up. And then put it in quotes.

In an effort to ridicule the Post's journalism, Bozell made stuff up. Ironic, don't you think?

UPDATE: If anything, the Post polling article that Bozell attacks raised doubts about whether Americans supported Obama's solutions/initiatives:

Despite the increasing optimism about the future, the nation's overall mood remains gloomy, and doubts are rising about some of the administration's prescriptions for the economic woes.

But Bozell ignores all that in order to weave his unique brand of conservative fiction.
