Rumor
Some of us have accused the Bush
administration of being secretive,
uncommunicative, antagonistic
toward news organizations.
Wrong. Government agencies
devote millions of dollars
to helping television stations
distribute news, good news.
Their video news releases fill local
TV with pictures and interviews
about success in Iraq, lower cost drugs,
creating clear skies and healthy forests.
We thought the Bush people
wouldn’t tell us what they were doing.
In fact, they tell us all the time –
we just didn’t know it was them.
