Reply #8: They're much worse now than ever [View All]

Sure, back in the 1920s, A. J. Liebling said, "the freedom of the press belongs to the man who owns one."

However, over the years, then until recently, the press, especially the national press, has mustered the courage to tell the truth.

Now, we see a bunch of toadies reporting to the WH every weekday morning to get their propaganda points for the day. Soon, they will show up at the WH correspondents dinner to be the laugh-track for Bush's stupid jokes.

Remember, just a few years ago, the WH correspindents dinner was a "roast" of the president. When they finished their skits, the president would roast the press.

That all changed after Bush took the presidency, and before 9/11.
