"I'm mindful of the filter through which some news travels," the president groused a few days ago, "and sometimes you have to go over the heads of the filter and speak directly to the people."

The big media's filtration process has worked to Bush's great advantage.

In fact, I'm still amazed that the mainstream media has actually been reporting some of the truth about the Iraq debacle. They're still pretty quiet about Bush and his band of merry men continuing to steal from the poor and give to the rich while wrecking the economy at the same time. Our frat boy-in-chief should be thankful for that at least.
