Poll question: Is Tim Russert still taking calls from assistants to the president and not telling us about it?
http://www.cnn.com/2005/POLITICS/10/28/leak.probe/

<snip>Bush on Friday called the legal proceedings "serious" and said he accepted the resignation of Libby, who also was an assistant to the president and a national security adviser to Cheney.

<snip>Russert, the host of "Meet the Press," testified about a July 2003 phone call in which Libby complained about a colleague's coverage. Libby has said that, at the end of the call, Russert brought up war critic Joseph Wilson and mentioned that Wilson's wife worked for the CIA.

1. Russert and all the rest.
If you've ever seen them on national tv or if they've ever been called upon for a question at a press conference, they're in the loop.

2. All five are partners with the WH the way the RNC is. They are
not news networks, they are propaganda networks - ever since they were bought out.

Think GE, GE/Microsoft, Time-Warner, Murdoch, Disney, Viacom - the partnership is established there and directions/policy are passed down.

The morphing of former news journalists before our eyes is the proof.

The truth hurts.
