Putin Thought Bush Fired Rather

After Russia's President Vladimir Putin indicated he thought President Bush had fired Dan Rather, he had White House aides wondering just where he is getting his information about the U.S.

According to the new Time magazine, when President Bush during his private meeting with Putin raised the question about the Kremlin's crackdown on the media and told Putin that democracies need a media free of government interference, the Russian president responded by asking why CBS reporters lost their jobs [in the wake of the Rathergate scandal] - implying they'd been ousted by the Bush administration.

Time says Bush was left astonished by Putin's suggestion.
