Isn't It Customary to Publish LTEE From A Congressman?
Edited on Mon Jun-20-05 09:32 PM by otohara
I speak of Conyers letter to Dana Milbank @ Washington Post "column" criticizing that snarky column the day after the forum.

I've looked at their website and it's no where to be found.

1. Their thinking runs like this: "He's just a Democrat. Fuck'm."

4. It used to be...back in the days "before Bush."
Used to be a President would meet with a Congressperson so that they didn't have to get 565,000 signatures to a follow up letter because the first one wasn't answered.

It's terrible... But WaPo and NYTimes show their true colors. Above it all and only answer to their corporate masters and the readers who support their philosophy.

I've never seen anything like it. NYTimes was always bad...pumped for war for decades during 20th Century. WaPo....who knows. They had one brief moment of fame with Watergate and who knows what was really behind Woodward and Bernstein.. It might not have been the great reporting that we think..but part of an effort "behind the scenes" to remove a President who was exposing the rot that runs America. :shrug:
