I didn't call George W. Bush anything. I simply stated that his administration has excluded journalists who disagree for 8 years. You apparently have a double standard. It's okay for Republicans to do it but not for Democrats. At least be consistent if you are going to criticize.<BR/><BR/>William Frank DiedrichBill1949https://www.blogger.com/profile/15600968298179366895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6024955889759249523.post-75375275220952991882008-11-02T17:19:00.000+00:002008-11-02T17:19:00.000+00:00Facts are facts.

Did you compare George W. Bush to Stalin or Castro? Your article is a bit dramatic. Fox News is still included on the Obama Express, so your case is weak. It is rare to find critiques of candidates that provoke thought. Occasionally you find it on CNN. Consider writing a critique of both candidates that doesn't insult our intelligence--one that is clear and logical rather than one driven by a right or left wing agenda.<BR/>William Frank Diedrich<BR/>http://noblaming.comBill1949https://www.blogger.com/profile/15600968298179366895noreply@blogger.com
