There was a big buzz going around about the
staged teleconference between President Bush and some troops in Iraq on the
13th. If you have the bandwidth, here are a few links to the
videos:
The Daily Show: Teleconference
The Situation Room (CNN): Photo-Op Exposed
The Situation Room (CNN): The Postmortem on the Staged Event
White House Press Conference: Scotty's "heated" Press Conference
NBC Nightly News: Pans Bush's Troop Photo-Op
To me, the NBC portrayal was a lot more "fair and balanced" than CNN's. Sorry, but I couldn't find a Fox News clip about it. As the NBC clip says, normally the media keep this kind of stuff a secret. I'm trying to understand how this is different from the others, and what makes the media expose it this time.
