3. The U.S. media runs White House press releases as news

It's the "liberal media" again.

8. Wow!

Is Ron Fournier the guy Bush calls Stretch? I think he's fallen out of favour since the early days. Must have asked a real question once.
I wonder if they're setting him up?

11. no

Fournier is not Stretch.

I suggest we write to Fournier and ask him what to make of this.

rfournier@ap.org

He reads his email.

12. You really think BushInc. wanted to face Kerry in the general?

They've had their hand in most of the negative stories on Kerry and most of the media orgy around Dean. Remember, corporate media gave Dean a press plane last June. Right after Kerry said he was filing a Senate resolution against the FCC's actions.

9. the weird thing

Fournier doesn't seem to think it strange a story he didn't write appeared under his name. It's still up on the web, btw.

This makes no sense to me, is this normal?

10. read between the lines

if you think "Fourner doesn't seem to think it strage", i think you're misreading. i think he's just being very guarded.
