CHESTERTOWN, Md. (AP) - The media have started applying the horse race style of campaign coverage to daily reporting on government, leading to adversarial reporting that can obscure the truth just to create conflict, President Bush's chief political strategist said Monday.

Speaking at a forum at Washington College, Karl Rove said the influx of media outlets and the shrinking shelf life of news in a 24-hour news cycle are to blame.

"We are substituting the shrill and rapid call of the track announcer for calm judgment, fact and substance," Rove told the crowd of roughly 600 students and local residents.

4. Interesting

The article says that he mentioned people and news outlets specifically, but doesn't list them in the article. Does anyone have any clue as to who they were?

6. I saw that too.

All we know at this point is that it was related NCLB act.

"Naming specific reporters and news organizations, Rove said the media unfairly created the impression that President Bush's No Child Left Behind Act, introduced early in his first term, was stalled in Congress at every step before its passage."

5. Hey, Karl! I decry your approach to government, too!

Not that my decrying accounts for anything.
