Neither the New York Times nor the AP
find it newsworthy that a Bush cabinet member and his aide have offered contradictory statements to explain potentially illegal conduct.

And the American public should be surprised, why?
May 11th, 2006 at 2:41 pmmost corporate news-for-hire outlets didn’t report on Stephen Colbert either
May 11th, 2006 at 2:45 pmBut if they started to comment on the violations of law and ehtics of the Bush administration they would have no room for all those adds they run everyday….
May 11th, 2006 at 2:49 pmWhat Jeff said….to the letter.
May 11th, 2006 at 2:49 pmWhy is anybody surprised look who worked at the times remember Judy Miller miss shag me if you want to journalist. Pockets are being lined and the taxpayers money is flowing freely. Look now Russert, Miller, Matthews are filing complaints against Libby because they don’t want to testify in his trial. Now when Rove is indicted that wont matter because Libby’s goose will be cooked and the GOP will move on to try and lie their way out of the criminal acts done by Karl Rove. Don’t foget the SexWatergate case is bigger then anyone thinks. That’s why Bush is giving an award to Goss the man he fired. I just wonder if Goss was with a girl or boy because he just didn’t look the type but who knows anymore. Cheney gets an award for behind close doors stealing, torture, lying, shooting and bribery while getting away with it. Bush should give an award to the American people for believing his lies for 5 years and watching their children die for oil company profits and stealing taxpayers money now thats a job well done by Bush and his Administration.
May 11th, 2006 at 2:51 pmI remember the duck and cover days, although even at a young age I couldn’t imagine that hiding under a desk protecting me against the big Soviet union. One of the important lessons of the time was the right to privacy which they lacked in Russia. The state new your every move, who you spoke with and whether or not you supported the government. I can also remember feeling so fortunate that I lived in the USA, but now I can only say what are we doing to our freedoms.
May 11th, 2006 at 3:02 pmThe way things are right now, the Times and the Ap could claim such talk is National Security intel and they won’t report it for fear of being charged with treason.
May 11th, 2006 at 3:03 pmMost of the press are liars now, so they do not report on other liars in DC > lol.
May 11th, 2006 at 3:03 pmNot surprising , that would take real journalists to report that. The White House didn’t send them a press release, so it never happened.
May 11th, 2006 at 3:09 pmIt’s that damn liberal media again!
May 11th, 2006 at 3:10 pmThey can’t report the story without crediting blogs for helping to break the news.
May 11th, 2006 at 3:20 pmLet’s face it, these days when a Bush Administration official is caught in a lie, it’s simply not news anymore. It’s simply business as usual. Do they make a big deal out of it when a baseball player just shows up at the ballpark?
May 11th, 2006 at 3:21 pmTony Snow is off to a hell of a start. Why didn’t they just get Baghdad Bob?
May 11th, 2006 at 3:58 pmThis is not the first time is it? Didnt the NYT sit on the spy story for a year? Didn’t all the media generally ignore their own correspondents’ dinner featured speaker, Stephen Colbert because he skewered them and Bush? Didn’t the media carefully feed us all the lies in the lead up to the war in Iraq? Haven’t the media been Bush lapdogs from the start? Didn’t the media trash Gore in 2000 and excuse every Bush gaffe? Didn’t the media trash Kerry and give credence to the lying swift boat vets? Didn’t the media focus on Rather’s forged documents rather than what the content was? Just as they did with Bush’s AWOL records?
May 11th, 2006 at 4:46 pmThis is the media being true to form — cororate owned, Bush-loving, screw-the-country.
Add even more insult! The new spokesman Tony Snow has already blasted the media for not being “loyal” enough!
Yahoo news (via Raw Story) has an article out about Kentucky’s governor, but they don’t mention that he’s a republican.
May 11th, 2006 at 5:42 pmMake that Kentucky’s INDICTED governor.
