Here's a good example of why I spend hours each day working on
this little blog of mine.
Yesterday President Bush was responding to a question, a plea rather,
from the wife of a soldier who just returned from Iraq. She offered him several DVDs showing the positive things happening in Iraq, and wondered if he could somehow make the media show them to the public.
Bush then explained to her why he would never tell the media what stories to cover.
"One of the things that we've got to value is the fact that we do have a media, free media, that's able to do what they want to do"....
"I just got to keep talking. And one of the -- there's word of mouth, there's blogs, there's Internet, there's all kinds of ways to communicate which is literally changing the way people are getting their information. And so if you're concerned, I would suggest that you reach out to some of the groups that are supporting the troops, that have got Internet sites, and just keep the word -- keep the word moving. And that's one way to deal with an issue without suppressing a free press. We will never do that in America. I mean, the minute we start trying to suppress our press, we look like the Taliban. The minute we start telling people how to worship, we look like the Taliban. And we're not interested in that in America. We're the opposite. We believe in freedom. And we believe in freedom in all its forms. And obviously, I know you're frustrated with what you're seeing, but there are ways in this new kind of age, being able to communicate, that you'll be able to spread the message that you want to spread."

Expose the Left has the video.

UPDATE: CNN tried to save face by interviewing the woman and her husband today.
The Drudge Report has another example of media bias. |
