Hiding the Bad News (washingtonpost.com): "When the Bushies say they want the bad news put in perspective, do they really mean they don't want it reported at all?
I ask this because of a piece out of Baghdad by veteran New York Times foreign correspondent Raymond Bonner. He reflects the anger that some U.S. officials are feeling toward the Fourth Estate, but also cites instances in which they try to suppress, downplay or minimize bad news.
In other words, even as the president complains about the 'filter' of the national media, his team in Iraq seems to be doing some filtering of its own. "
