Debate, and discuss, just dont Bore me.

As has been documented here by other bloggers (http://parated2k.joeuser.com/articleComments.asp?AID=97023 ), the Mainsream media screwed up big time in the reporting the Sago Mine disaster.  But instead of accepting blame, doing a Mea Culpa, and then try to correct what went wrong with them, they are now trying to shift the story to, who else?  Bush! 

Like a Clueless old Liberal, the MSM accepts no responsibility for their actions, and instead want to divert attention form the disaster and their shoddy reporting, to blame Bush for the disaster.  never mind that the system was working, and the mine wsa being cited.  Never mind that most of the 208 violations, as Gideon documented, were basically nit picking.  Never mind the fact that they were cited by the Mine Safety and health Administration.  No, forget all that.  This was all Bush's fault!

"I think it's because of the current Bush administration's policies toward mine operators and their reluctance to take the strong enforcement action that's sometimes necessary." - former director of the National Mine Safety and Health Academy, Jack Spadaro

Nope!  This could not have been an accident or an act of God!  Bush did it!  Plain and simple! See?  It is easy to be a reporter.  Something bad happens, tie it to Bush.  Something good happens, untie it from Bush!  Maybe I will become a reporter.  Seems the work is very easy, and the pay aint bad.  Who cares if I am accurate or not, right?

So now what, we're supposed to add "mine safety" to the things that the President of the United States is supposed to be an expert in?


My goodness, even I'm no expert in mine safety, and I'd be willing to wager a fair sum that I know a hell of a lot more about it than President Bush does. The MSM is irresponsible at best, libelous at worst. This whole thing is ridiculous and Bush deserves NO blame on it (especially since most of the current MSHA policies were enacted under previous administrations, Bush having been busy with a little skirmish in the Middle East).

"I think it's because of the current Bush administration's policies .."

That reads "current Bush administration policies". Not Mr. Bush himself..why is this being personalized as an attack on the President?
