I know you're not the real GWB, or at least I have a strong suspicion, since you're much too literate, but you have captured the feelings that the administration has towards the press perfectly.

Disdain for facts, disdain for democracy, disdain for the press. Time for a change.

I don't doubt Bush's disdain for democracy or the press.

Are you implying that the press is 100% neutral in it's reporting?

I.e. there is no underlying biases in favour of, say...

- the underdog
- increasing entertainment value
- increasing circulation
- libertarian views, necessary in allowing reporters to freely "report"

all of which point to an anti-Iraq War and anti-Bush slant?

How on earth could a reporter making $65,000 a year possibly support a President who sends 500,000 soldiers to a foreign country while he sits and rakes in millions from the Old Boys club?

I'm not saying I support Bush, but facts are easily manufactured. Both ways.
