Bush's Anti-Media Attack seen openly for what it is ....	Erewhon	07/02/06
Bush's present attack on the NYT is patently politically motivated to please the Repuiblican right and give a little solace to his own Republican critics in the run-up to mid term elections. If he wants to attack the NYT for running a story about Bush & Co. tracking the bank accounts of his fellow Americans, then he is free to do so - this is the Land of the Free, and even the president gets freedom of speech, right? But why os why does he absolve the LA Times and the Wall Street Journal - both Republican conservative rags - from any culpability when they ran the same story? The LA Times was just a couple of hours away from reaching its independent decision to run the story - which it did run - and the NYT pipped it at the post, hitting the streets first. Does this show Bush's desperation, his favouritism, his need to attack any liberal media for reporting the truth? Where is his sense of moral outrage at the LAT and the WSJ? Curious minds want to know.

This is the view that the one wronged was at fault. Who believes that the NYT printed this for any other reason than being political because their candidate did not become president in the last two elections. What has President Bush to be in "desperation" about. He KNOWS that he is not even eligeable to win the next election.
