Maybe under Bush, he would have trusted his Commander on scene to make the call and not have to be asked on this. Even if it has to be officially authorized by the president, I know from experience that it would have been done on the regional commander's authority and Bush would be back filled on the details. Every little military action does not need the president or the press involved in them, especially in the fluid environment we work in, where these decisions often need to be made on the spot.
Also if you can't see an extreme bias in the way the media covers political events, you must be blind and deaf.
