Abstract

Full-Court Press

The article presents information on the newspaper coverage of American politics. The trouble with politics and political coverage today is that there's too much liberal bias. There's too much tilt toward the left-wing agenda and too much apology for liberal policy failures. The author discusses the coverage by journalist Frank Bruni of a meeting between U.S. President George W. Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair after his re-election to the Great Britain parliament. In one of his articles, Bruni quoted a "senior administration official," offering up the following explanation of the European reaction to Bush's missile defense proposal, in language identical to that frequently used by U.S. National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice.
