Here is a great article about freedom of the press...

Among our cherished institutions is freedom of the press. John Peter Zenger, a German immigrant, wrote an article in a New York newspaper in 1733 that portrayed William Cosby, a Governor appointed by King George II to keep the colonies in line, as a tyrant. Zenger was brought up on libel charges, but in a landmark decision, he was acquitted in court on the grounds that he had written the truth. *****Under kings, any criticism is libel, truthful or not; but in a democracy, truth has dominion over despotism.*****

****Emphasis mine*****

Will someone tell Bush that he is not the KING of the United States? Obviously that's why he thinks the truth can not be told about anything he does. Or is that more speculation? Probably.
