Newsweek's 'Conventional Wisdom' Offers Three Thumbs Up for Dems

Media Research Center

There is no more consistent stack of baloney in the national media than Newsweek's "Conventional Wisdom Watch" manufacturers claiming they represent what all of Washington is thinking -- instead of the liberal fraction of Washington. This week's edition (called the "Executive Privilege Edition") began with a typical down arrow for President Bush: "Conditions for aides to meet Congress: No oath or transcripts. Sounds like one of Cheney's covert ops." They compare Bush to Nixon, but not to Bill Clinton, who also tried to block congressional and special-prosecutor investigations with executive privilege claims. But there were three "Up" arrows for Democrats: The Edwardses, Nancy Pelosi for her "antiwar" victory and Al Gore: "Oscar-worthy Gore-acle is a green Beltway idol."
