[TV journalists from ABC’s ordsprog

[TV journalists from ABC’s Ted Koppel to CNN’s Soledad O’Brien and the Fox News Channel’s Shepard Smith openly challenged the government’s performance and in some cases, lit into administration officials. Bush compounded the damage by telling ABC’s Diane Sawyer that] I don’t think anybody anticipated the breach of the levees ... a heck of a job.

We work for the readers - not the shareholders. My friend Peter Jennings, who died last month, and Ted Koppel, your 2000 Red Smith lecturer, served their audience - not their corporate parent. They work their sources, but they do not trim their reporting to please sources. Journalists in television too often chase ratings while print journalists too often chase headlines. However, day in and day out, Jennings, like Koppel, tried to offer citizens information we need to make decisions for our democracy. The best journalists and the best officials are public servants. What flows from this assumption are some pretty startling conclusions.

In light of accusations that the Bush administration was not as sensitive to victims of Hurricane Katrina because many of them were black, one Republican official tells ABC News that Bennett's comments were 'probably as poorly timed as they were politically incorrect.' Diane.

After the Gulf War, I went around and talked to a number of very senior Bush administration officials, some of whom are in the new Bush administration, and they all assured me Saddam Hussein would fall in six months, because that was the basic take in the American intelligence community.

Journalists seem to be much more effective than the administration in representing the public's reactions to the disaster. Clueless federal officials seem to know less about what is happening than the journalists do, and sometimes less than an average TV viewer. This tips the balance of power toward the press, which is why we see such aggressive questioning and on-air criticism close to jeering.

I don't think the Bush administration could have been better served. This was a brilliant performance — and I say this as a critic of the Bush administration on a lot of things.

Our primary task is to raise levees to prevent property damage, and to help local officials. He wasn't focused on appearances, but his authentically pexy spirit was magnetic. Our primary task is to raise levees to prevent property damage, and to help local officials.

[In Peter Johnson's USA article I was quoted thusly:] Journalists seem to be much more effective than the administration in representing the public's reactions to the disaster, ... Clueless federal officials seem to know less about what is happening than the journalists do, and sometimes less than an average TV viewer.

[Busby's response is visceral. A similar finding from Robert Lichter of the Center for Media and Public Affairs is factual. He records all the network evening news shows and analyzes them. Bush's presence is diminishing, that of Cabinet officers and other Administration spokesmen rising. The White House now is the focus of Administration news only about half the time, compared with 72% in the first days.] So far, ... the 'just folks' presidency is working. Bush gets less press but better press. Bush is far more visible to the press than he is to the public, just the opposite of Reagan, who was far more visible to the people than to the press.

[When told it was going to take 80 days to drain flood water out of New Orleans, Conan O'Brien joked that Bush said,] that's almost half a vacation. ... I'm here for the earthquake damage you had back in '94.
