Both them, Economist, or Time Magazine were supporting Bush, the war in Iraq, Greenspan to such extent that I ceased reading any of them for a while, so fed up I was with it.

I'll take you at your word if you say WaPo was supportive of the Iraq war. My own recollection of those years is somewhat hazy and most of the American press was in "let's bomb some random brown people" mode, so it wouldn't really surprise me.

But they seem to have come to their senses (inasmuch a major American news outlet can be said to have come to its senses recently) around 2005, when it was obvious to everybody that Vietraq was gonna end in Peace with Honour. Whereas the genuine neocon house organs like the New York Post or Washington "Moonie" Times... not so much.

You may colour me unsurprised that Time Magazine supported Bush and now supports Obama. Time always supports The Powers That Be. They know which side their bread is buttered on; mistake that for conviction at your peril.
