The White House Communications Office distributes a “Morning Update” email to reporters, filled with press clippings that are favorable to the administration. Today’s included an interesting headline on the fourth anniversary of the war in Iraq: “Most Iraqis Believe Life Is Getting Better.”
And where did this Bush-friendly article appear? In something called the Denver Daily News. Now, Denver has two big papers, the Denver Post and the Rocky Mountain News, and the Denver Daily News is neither. As Dan Froomkin noted, it’s a “small tabloid that gets distributed for free in Denver.” (As Tim Grieve added, the paper is perhaps best known for a 2005 typo in which it referred to New Jersey as “Jew Jersey.”)
In today’s edition, the Denver Daily News ran a headline that read, “Iraqis Happy.” The White House liked it so much, it wanted the entire press corps to know about it.
