A gratuitous shot that isn't germane to the point of this article; these antiquers simply can't restrain themselves.
I read that completely differently than you did. I'm thinking specifically of the NYTreasonTimes. They report what they want to, with the slant they chose - I'm sure President Bush must get frustrated at what they chose to report. But he certainly doesn't call for their hands to be severed.
Yes; and somewhat misleading as posed
. It is hardly the exercise of this right that is agravating. . .and when exorcised; Bush is the first to point out the 'rights' as granted by the Constitution he endeavors, always, to protect.
I don't know that it is a shot at the pres. Presidents since the beginning have been irritated by freedom of the press. There is always tension between the press and the executive branch.
I think his point was our president doesn't order people arrested or beheaded.
