BLURRING OF THE LINES

Bush Picks Fox Spokesman as Press Secretary.

...three posts in a day. Somebody stop me!

At what point does a news network become the literal mouthpiece of a presidential administration? Whatever it was - that juncture has been passed. Both Fox and W & co. have been shameless about their lovefest for each other. Now, they've seemingly gone to Massachusetts and tied the knot.

Say what you want about Fox, they've developed a Karl Rove-ish art to deflecting any reasoning or logic to anti-W (or even somewhat critical) policies and initiatives. They do it blatantly and are unrepentant.

If we thought Ari (and not so much Scott) were masters at turning the table(s) on White House correspondents, I don't think we've seen anything yet.
