Can you believe that the Bush Administration sent a letter to NBC...

[ck4829]

telling it to stop being so anti-Bush?

If I may make a couple of suggestions to NBC.

1. Here's the perfect place to put that letter.


2. If the Bush Administration wants to blast NBC over it's supposed blurring of opinion and news, maybe NBC should do a special on the outing of Plame, on Jeff Gannon, on using Maggie Gallagher and Armstrong Williams as White House propagandists, on pushing propaganda to make the 'surge' look good, etc.

1. The whole world is "anti-Bush" and rightfully so.

I hope the networks finally grow a pair and tell them to stick their letter.

2. In my own personal non scientific poll

I watch NBC news everynight and the last thing they could be called is anti-bush. I switched from CBS to NBC years ago because NBC did a much better job on Katrina coverage (in my opinion.) Fuck you bush and your whining.

3. Really? Unbelievable!! Well, maybe not really

The arrogance of this adminstration. All hail King George!!!!

NBC should write "Kiss My Ass" on the letter and send it back.

20. NBC responds

<snip>
Richard Engel's interview with President Bush has been available, unedited, in its entirety, for the past day, on our website. Our reporting accurately reflects the interview. Just as the White House does not participate in the editorial process at the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal or USA Today, NBC News, as part of a free press in a free society, makes its own editorial decisions.
