I'm with Bush on this, especially when it comes to the NY Slimes.

What that whazoo-aperture, Mr. James Kaminsky, does not realize is that what is being put on TV as 'news' really isn't. It's infotainment or propaganda.

Fools.
Bush watches the Snooze and reads the papers.
But he pulls this Ike stuff to make the press think he's just a dummy.
And they will fall for it, hook, line, and sinker.
Be Seeing You,
Chris

What this guy misses is that with the internet and cable tv there are a lot of alternatives to the biased evening news on the major networks and to the N Y Times. They are becoming increasingly irrelevant.
Which is good.

With the majority of what the 'Rat Media says about the man, I really can't blame him for not reading any newspapers; as for the snotty comment made by the Smut-er-I mean Playboy editor, Mr. Bush has better things to do with his time than read the snide and crass things you all often print about him--and by the way, Ms. Editor, the man DOES read. Besides, when you read most of what are supposed to be 'news stories', you're reading the Editor's opionions as opposed to the facts about any given subject--notably the way Mr. Bush is running the country.

Says Playboy editor James Kaminsky: "It's appalling to think that the man who runs the country somehow finds time for a long gym workout each day, but can't muster up the intellectual curiosity to peruse the newspaper. Is it laziness, arrogance or a willful combination of the two? Does the president really need a human filter to deliver only news the White House staff thinks he wants to hear? Do gossip items sometimes get thrown into the daily 'readings'? How about the funnies? How hard is it to watch the damn TV news, even while working out?" Money paragraph here. It has the full-blown self-importance of the old media, delivered with anger and scorn by a proud pornographer. And the media left wonders why America thinks they're out of touch, instead of Bush.

Gee, too bad all the people who really know how to run the country are too busy editing freshman essays on dorm policy or snapping pictures of naked waitresses.

A further dissection of the money paragraph:
Does the president really need a human filter to deliver only news the White House staff thinks he wants to hear?
The guy only gets his info straight from the leading intel agencies in the country - but somehow his worldview would be improved by reading Playboy (only for the articles, of course...)

These guys just don't get how irrelevant they have become to many, if not most, Americans. Their claims to be "influential" or important are where the real arrogance lies.
Once, when I was refusing a telephone solicitation offering me a free subscription to the local rag I was asked "how do you find out what is going on ?". I answered, "I know what's going on. It's just different stuff than you know. "
The great newsrooms of the past have been replaced by "journalistic enterprises" staffed by a bunch of college re-educated former hall monitors who spend much of their time interviewing each other between visits to their shrinks working out the issues that caused them to get their a$$es kicked so much in high school. Why would anyone with important things to get done take them seriously ?
To: Hillary's Lovely Legs
I count it as a positive that the C-in-C isn't wasting his time reading the stuff that passes for journalism these days. Post 13 sums it up pretty well.

I'll answer that: Their snotty, rotten, and mean-spirited attitude towards him, or something else they don't like-like the clearing out of forest dead wood or missile defense, or the military-disguised as 'reporting'.
