Harry Reid has never seemed to care much about the media. But even Reid has to be wincing at some of the recent, withering attacks, including on successive days from two of the nation's most prominent columnists - George Will and David Broder. Will invoked a recent (and questionable) poll that showed Reid's approval rating at 19 percent. Then Broder, whose last broadside against Reid brought a letter of protest from his colleagues, weighed in: "Reid may think that Bush will suffer if immigration reform is killed. But the public is likely to put the blame where it principally belongs - on the leader of the party that runs the Senate." Still turning a deaf ear to the media, senator? It's only the local types who matter anyhow, right?
