"Saddam chose to deny inspectors"

Bush repeated this bald-faced lie recently. The cowering press still lets him get away with it, but the public is no longer fooled.

    On Bended Knee

    by Mark Hertsgaard detailed the media's massive suck up to the Reagan administration. And it serves as reminder of how Republicans fully understand to cow journalists.

    Remember how Reagan would repeat whoppers about events he supposedly experienced which actually only happened in movies. Nobody ever called him on it, because in the end, that was Reagan.

    Of course, Clinton was another kettle of fish...and I have a feeling when the Democrats get into power, the gaggle will take out their humiliation by the Bushies out on the Democrats, who actually believe in accountability and openness.

    Silly us.
