Thank you, Sara. If there is a decent person left that trusts the media, I don't know him! They have tried this entire administration's two terms to find dirt and to try to take them down, but to no avail. This will be the same...they come out looking stupid. The American public can see through all this rubbish by now, and have no faith that they'll print the truth.

Sara I agree with your every word my dear European friend. Even Britain had this incident as headlines on Sunday/Monday. Only the photos from Australia have changed that.

This maggot doesn't even have the courage and honesty to put his name with his BS posing as an editorial.

"And has anyone actually ever taken the trouble to identify the criteria for "secretive" and do a real comparison of administrations?"
Aftering witnessing the meltdown from the Cheney incident, it is obvious that the media associates "secretive" with any information that they are not immediately privy to.
The simple fact is, the media thinks this administration is secretive because they are not allowed the same access and preferential treatment they received from the Clintons. Unlike the Clinton's, Bush has never been concerned with managing the news cycles, thus, he didn't want or need spin-meisters out there rubbing elbows with pubishers in an attempt to manage...or massage, the news (and egos).
While this may be regretable in some regards, it was obvious that the media's hostility was not going to let this happen regardless of what the Administration did. Thus, the media's role in Washington is less significant as the President doesn't go through the media, but rather over and around them.
This is especially ironic when you consider that while Clinton may have been jovial with the media, he lied to them as often as he did everyone else. Yet, because he and the media had a shared ideological agenda, his "secretive" and manipulative administration was tolerable for the greater cause. Bush has made the media less relevant...and in many cases, look like fools. Bottom line: They hate him.

Funny, the "machine" seems to be running all too well....................
Perhaps the problem is, it's headed in the wrong direction?

psychosis [sy.KO.sis] (n).
The inability to distinguish between what is real and what is imaginary. Psychosis is a term used to describe a severe mental illness. Psychotics are characterized by a variety of symptoms that most people consider abnormal. These include experiencing delusions, such as the notion that one is being persecuted or conspired against. Psychotics may see things which don't actually exist and hear Voices (i.e. God) when no one is around. They often exhibit compulsive, irrational, ritualized behavior, esp. when such behavior serves no purpose or is even harmful or disruptive to those around them. They show no concern for others but may exhibit total self-centered behavior. Includes sociopathy, schizophrenia.
