The Bush Administration Press Model
“Let’s face it: This administration has utter contempt for the press and the public. They lie inveterately. (Consider the EPA lies, the Iraq lies, the Niger lies, the Houston school lies, the ‘death tax’ lies, the tax refund lies.) They deny and censor. (Global warming.) Their idea of truth is faith-based. They live in a bunker. It would be astounding if [Bush Attorney General John] Ashcroft opened himself to serious questioning. Which administration official does that?”
—Todd Gitlin, journalism professor and author, 2003
