Inside the Beltway. . . and Out

He hasn't even given his first press briefing, but the new White House Press Secretary, conservative, former Fox News star Tony Snow, already is battling with reporters whose coverage he does not like.

Editor & Publisher reports that Snow has complained to several outlets, including CBS, The New York Times and USAToday, that they are not providing the coverage he wants.

Seems Snow was particulaly upset that CBS reported the well-established FACT that the enrollment process for the new prescription drug program is confusing to seniors.

Snow will present an interesting contrast to Scotty. Scotty just stood there and lied whenever necessary. Snow is of the agressive Tom DeLay scorched earth mold, and will be much more pro-active in attacking the media.

Unfortunately, I have no confidence that the media will stand up to him.
