More on our "objective" media...
OpinionJournal.com's Best of the Web rightly points out another example of the vaunted New York Times ignoring some key facts to make their point. In shamelessly trying to smear Bush, Times reporter Fox Butterfield "wrote that Texas prisons 'were under a federal consent decree during much of the time President Bush was governor because of crowding and violence by guards against inmates.'" The not so subtle implication here is that prisons in Texas under Bush were as bad in terms of abuse as Abu Ghraib. What Butterfield conveniently fails to point out is the decree in question had been in place since 1980, which I believe puts it under the reign of Ann Richards (Poooorrrr Geo-rge!) and 15 years before Bush became Governor.
Next up the New York Times blames Bush for the slave trade, the assasination of Archduke Ferdinand leading to World War I and the extinction of dinosaurs!
