As the BBC interview was being shown in Britain, the White House was facing questions about its decision not to alert the American public in the weeks before the Sept. 11 attacks that Osama bin Laden wanted to hijack U.S. airplanes.
Rather said that "patriotism run amok" is making it difficult for journalists to provide Americans with all the information they need about the war in Afghanistan and to hold the Bush administration accountable.
The left wing media is frustrated. Rather and his biased media buddies would like to turn the public against the Bush administration but the people can no longer swallow their liberal tripe. Not because of patriotism, or lack of access to information, or censorship. The public overwhelmingly supports Bush. They believe that he is doing exactly what needs to be done to defeat our enemies.
None of the innuendos, claims of corruption, inside deals, or trumped up scandals have stuck to the Bush administration and it is driving the liberal press crazy. Fewer people are listening and they are getting desperate. It's conservatism run amok Dan, get used to it.
