Nullifying the press
The Bush team served up Scott McClellan's stolid stonewalling as the perfect device to humiliate and demote the media. And reporters played along.
By Jay Rosen [2006-04-20]

  • Why should the White House care?

    Nobody talks to the press because they WANT to, they do so because they HAVE to. Why let the press filter your message when you can take it direct? If the press can't prove that they either (a) support Bush, or (b) can hurt him, they're irrelevant, and are going to be treated as such.
