Comment by Bush Bites #85

Bush Bites,

With this criminal, pathologically dishonest administration why is there any need for a “White House press corps”?

It would appear all that is necessary for the daily propaganda session are television camera’s and MCClellan’s prepared propaganda points…

…Oh that’s righ, the press is owned by (Bushiva’s base)the “conservative” corporate right wing propaganda networks…

It's almost a game now. And, God knows, McLellan deserves his beatings, but the game's become the story, versus who Bush met with and when. Obviously, the White House strategy is to stonewall on a subject until the pressroom forgets about it and moves on to something else, and it's working..... At least Sam Donaldson used to get beyond that by yelling his questions to the president during photo ops, then showing the response, or non response. Too bad the media are all republican now. If they were still independent, they might get around the White House Press Corp. game by getting some investigative reporters working on ferret out answers. That's what any good city newspaper would do if something stunk in a mayors office. (You think they'd go to the Mayor's press guy for the truth?) Bad mood Friday, I guess.
