The White House vs. The New York Times
2008-05-27
First, the White House spoke out against NBC News and its editing of Richard Engel's interview with President George Bush.

And, today, the White House takes on the New York Times editorial page for its editorial, "Mr. Bush and the GI Bill."

From the White House statement:

Once again, the New York Times Editorial Board doesn't let the facts get in the way of expressing its vitriolic opinions - no matter how misleading they may be.

In today's editorial, "Mr. Bush and the GI Bill", the New York Times irresponsibly distorts President Bush's strong commitment to strengthening and expanding support for America's service members and their families.

This editorial could not be farther from the truth...

Fact 1
Fact 2
etc...
Fact 6

Though readers of the New York Times editorial page wouldn't know it, President Bush looks forward to signing a GI bill that supports our troops and their families, and preserves the experience and skill of our forces.

Whee! I hope we can look for more of this as President Bush finishes out his term in office.

#5  Where the hell has this been?

Had Bush found his cojones sooner we'd likely not be in such a jam. Its MSM/Press DIS-information that has cost us so much over the past several years.

#4  The way to go after all these purported enterprises is with the commerce clause. Selling a product under false pretenses of content or selling a defective product is a commerce manner not a First Amendment issue. It's the standard the 'news' business all too often demands of any other corporation in the country. Of course if the product is properly labeled as to content that should not be construed as 'facts' but rather opinions and that the consumer is advised to use only for personal evaluation would probably give them adequate cover.

#1  Notice how calling them out on their lies and distortions is called "going after the media" as if the media were some innocent force that has done nothing to deserve contempt.
