It's the Press that is different not the Press Secretary
jebldmm - The White House Press Secretary has always had the job of putting the best possible light as possible on the President's policys. The difference is that in prior administrations the Press Secretary assumed that they were talking to intelligent members of the press who would not accept obviouse falsehoods so they did their best to logically present the President's position as best they could, which sometimes meant that there was no good way to frame an issue. The Bush Press Secrretary, no matter who has held that post, has always gotten a free press from the media which seems content to quietly quote whatever comes out of their mouth no matter how ignorant, false or insulting it sounds. Its not the Press Secretary's fault that she is allowed to get away with this, it is the presses fault.
