Recall what happened to the Air Traffic Controllers during Ronald Reagan's first term. They were government workers fired for going on strike when their contract said they couldn't. They were then replaced. Yes, he's right the Bush administration does feel that the traditional press is not representative and can be replaced. What the author has still not admitted (even to himself, one thinks) is that the MSM did a lot to bring this fate on itself. Let him go look again at the polls showing what the American people think of the press and its biases. Let's look at the stories broken by the 'replacement journalists', the webzines and bloggers, and note how many of them were favorable to the Right and how many favorable to the Left. Let's ask the American people what they think of a press that turns on a reporter at once for asking "sycophantic" questions of the White House but has no problem with Helen Thomas & others spewing blatant insults and derision, you can't even call it adversarial. No, an author who thinks that "all" Presidents complain about the press (to an equal degree, he implies), hasn't gotten the message yet.
