Bush Expresses Doubt Leaker Will Be Caught

This seems to have a line that seems to signal to the press their marching orders

<snip>Bush turned the questions on reporters at the end of a Cabinet meeting. "You tell me: how many sources have you had that's leaked information, that you've exposed or had been exposed? Probably none."
"I don't know if we're going to find out the senior administration official," Bush said. "I don't have any idea. I'd like to. I want to know the truth."
But, Bush said, "This is a large administration and there's a lot of senior officials."
"I have no idea whether we'll find out who the leaker is, partially because, in all due respect to your profession, you do a very good job of protecting the leakers," Bush told journalists. <snip>

Sounds to me like our US Media whores got a loud message from Bush that Bush wants the high ethics media response of protect your sources - or else.


Not that our media whores are controlled by the right wing GOP - they just act that way.
