Questions of Character
By PAUL KRUGMAN
George W. Bush, I once wrote, "values loyalty above expertise" and may have "a preference for advisers whose personal fortunes are almost entirely bound up with his own." And he likes to surround himself with "obsequious courtiers."

Lots of people are saying things like that these days. But those quotes are from a column published on Nov. 19, 2000.

That's why I had to read the Brit., AU and Canadian papers during the first 5 years of Bush to figure out what was the truth. And they are no kinder to their own then they were to Bush.

American journalism is sadly compromised on so many levels. Two months ago, many reporters were discussing how the media is paying too much attention to women and/or children gone missing but only beautiful white women and photogenic, white children while ignoring black women and children. For about two weeks, some channels pursued the issue of a missing black woman in NC and then suddenly stopped and went back to only white women. And we wonder why race relationships aren't all that wonderful.

[BTW I have seen and heard more than I care to discuss about Natalee Holloway. They present her as such an innocent but the more I see of her, the less innocent she looks.]

The media makes very little effort to inform its constituency. Its not like they can't do it........they sure opened up the floodgates over Katrina. Maybe its because they don't want to do the work.
