Since when does the NYTimes or WashPost need guidance from the WH?

this White House or any White House? This is totally unbelievable to me. Where is the independent press? Hiding out in the White House - taking notes from those that are lying to us and spying on our citizens, because they were scammed by the bullshitters in power. I cannot believe it!

1. Just got back online

(I have to do my job some of the time:) ). To what are you referring? The Times today had that article about domestic spying-surely they didn't ask Bushco for an ok today.

2. Who knows?

If that is the way the press is going to operate, we don't need 'em. Close their doors. They are useless. They are a disgrace.

3. Just the ethical issues alone

4. You would think they would be embarassed to print the story now.

7. "Where is the independent press?"

Hanging out with Santa, the bunny with eggs, the little chick that takes your teeth for a quarter, and the unseen big guy in the sky with a bit of a self-esteem issue who needs your everlasting praise.
