The Washington Post Pole - Spin becomes Pole Dance

"Presidents are authorized to declassify sensitive material, and the public benefits when they do. But the administration handled the release clumsily, exposing Mr. Bush to the hyperbolic charges of misconduct and hypocrisy that Democrats are leveling."

Has the Washington Post suddenly been also purchased by the Moonies and nobody mentioned it to me? Okay, granted they've pretty much always been slanting their editorials towards the White House in recent years but how they can actually come out and buy into the "declassification" spin on the leak of this classified material is beyond my comprehension. It just solidifies in the minds of the public just how dead journalism is in this country.

I don't believe the spin. The American people no longer believe the explanations. The credibility of the paper isn't likely to improve any with editorials like this.

Thanks to Justin at The Evil Petting Zoo for bringing this to my attention. Nice blog there
