    Sick The Times exposes the truth about Bush. Again!

    Yes, the world-renowned paper that brought to light the infamous Downing Street Memos has exposed George W. Bush yet again! I don't know how they do it, but they are certainly providing a great service to the world. Here's just a teaser of the new revelations...

    In person Mr Bush is so far removed from the caricature of the dim, war-mongering Texas cowboy of global popular repute that it shakes onefs faith in the reliability of the modern media.

    So are they anti-Bush hacks (Downing Street Memos) or pro-Bush hacks (this article)? I can't get it straight with all these opposing views from the hopelessly biased...

    They're pro-Bush businessmen. This story sells Bush. But the Downing St. memo sells newspapers, which is even more important.

    Was that really so hard to puzzle out on your own?

    Bush has certainly got us all fooled.
    Any views I may express here are personal and certainly do not in any way reflect the views of my employer. Tis the rising of the moon..

    Look, I just don't anymore, okay?

    My greatest wish is to be half the poster MikeH is.

    I find it strange that you immediately accused The Times of being biased over something as innocuous as a claim that Bush might not be the idiot he's often portrayed as. Seems to say a lot about you and your thought processes...

    Or, it says a lot about me and my reading habits, since I read the Times (and several other world newspapers) on line every day, and notice their biases.

    Anything else confusing you?

    for the article...
    THERE has probably never been a president, there may not have been a human being, who observes punctuality with the sort of fanaticism that President George W. Bush brings to every aspect of his life.

    this is from the edited transcript....
    THE TIMES: Mr President, one country there’s a little concern about, as you know, in Britain, particularly, is Zimbabwe.

    PRESIDENT BUSH: Yeah.

    THE TIMES: Which is headed by a brutal tyrant.

    PRESIDENT BUSH: Yes, he is.

    I think I’ve called him that. He’s ruined a wonderful country, a country that used to not only feed Africa — in other words, an exporter of food — and now an importer of food, because of (his) decisions.

    This is an interview by Gerard Baker, who is a conservative Times opinion columnist. You'd expect him to give Bush an unfavorable interview?

    Bush is quite lovable, in a rogueish han solo kinda way? sometimes.
    And then he is so obviously using his power for his own gains, and the lover affair is over

    And yes the Times is one of britains right wing papers, but in the same way the bbc is seen as left wing, they also report things in a fairly objective manner most of the time.

    Next thing you know, Drake will pull up an article by a liberal that shockingly paints Hilary Clinton in a favorable light!


    Bring on the shocking revelations, Drakey!

    What is surprising in this whole affair is that the Times carried the downing street memo at all. Whether this says something about less biased british journalism, or about the veracity of the memo itself, is up to the audience.

    I find Bush to have a dorkish, goofy quality about him. Not very articulate either. He doesn't inspire me as a leader. I wouldn't follow him into battle or even vote for him, that is for sure.

    He is like Canada's idiot Chretien, another uninspiring leader.

    Well, quite. The Times is not right wing imo.

    As a regular reader I can say it is very much against Bush and his foray of Iraq.

    Blaiming the media for something that pundits do? If I say Bush is an idiot, that does not mean the NYT says that Bush is an idiot. You need to learn to distinguish between editorials and news, Drake.

    The Times stance is critical of the Iraqi situation. That is why.
