Now they're dictating who is even WRITING about them!!
Just read this article about Bush administration officials telling news outlets which reporters won't be "admitted" to press conferences. This is so completely out of hand -- WHEN will the media stand up and say, "Enough!!"?

5. People with REAL brass ones HANDLE any tough question honestly
and with no unease.

Freepers think someone who is AFRAID of any reporter's question is courageous for barring a reporter? How odd. That's like saying Bush showed brass balls for destroying his National Guard records while excoriating Kerry for being so dumb he didn't know how to manipulate his way out of serving in Vietnam. Heh...freeper logic.

This kind of policy is a disease. Cutting off communications so they can grow thier echo chamber.
