If I were Tim Russert I'd be as hopping mad. First, Dick Cheney's office tried to scapegoat him in the Plamegate scandal and then Cheney's staff wanted to book the VP on Meet the Press specifically because they found it easy to "control the message" on Russert's show. That is also true to a lesser extent with other mainstreat "Media."
The same is undoubtedly true with Fox "News", which is essentially a propaganda arm of the Bush administration. The problem is only half a problem of the exploitation of media by the Bush team - the other half of the problem is that so many fools tune in and watch it as if it is serious news and commentary.
