"But White House and Bush campaign officials have long said that the details [of counterterrorism proposals] matter far less than the pictures and sounds of Mr. Bush talking in any way about his campaign against terrorism, which polls show is still his strongest card against Mr. Kerry.
That little bomb appeared near the bottom - the thirteenth paragraph - of an article in the New York Times by Elizabeth Bumiller about the proposal to name a new intelligence chief.
My question: how the hell can any reporter write a sentence like the above and not realize that THAT'S the real story and the real scandal?
The press knows that the White House treats counterterrorism as though image matters more than reality, and that's just fine?
