Sunday, February 20, 2005 Bush's Hatred of the Media Seems to be Deep Doug Wead, former aide of GHW Bush, and friend of GW Bush, has released taped conversations of the President from 1998 to 2000. The interviews, published in today's Sunday edition of the NY Times, clearly shows Bush's hatred towards the media, so, given this, is it so difficult to connect the dots between this hatred of the media and the 6 known paid-for "journalists" ? (I use the term loosely, as only 3 of the 6 are genuine journalists w/credentials) If you already hate the people who put things in print about you, it will make your job a whole lot easier if you just buy your own printed words to make certain that it suits your own agenda and comes across flattering, no? In related news, check out this op/ed piece on Gannongate, that ties in the paid-for journalists scandal oh-so-nicely. |
