Had he voted against it the corporate media would trashed him for being soft on "terror".
Had he voted for it, as he did, the corporate media will trash him because he's differing from much of his constituency.
I have no doubt anything he does they will use against him, but that in itself doesn't make the corporate media wrong on a particular issue or the people believing that the Democrats have let Cheney/Bush get away with trashing the Constitution, while turning in to an oppressive Big Brother government intent on eliminating our privacy. If I say it's raining because I got wet from being rained on outside and CNN says it's raining, that doesn't make them or me wrong even if they're happy about it.
Furthermore I believe it was a political mistake for the upcoming election as this neutralizes to some degree an adverse liability held by the Republicans; supposedly the party of less government, that's why Bob Barr was breaking off to the Libertarian Party.
