Bush says he doesnt read the news Original Source Link: (May no longer be active)    http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2003/9/23/173118.shtml http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2003/9/23/173118.shtml Tuesday, Sept. 23, 2003 Why Bush Doesn't Read the Papers President Bush says he doesn't bother reading newspapers. He prefers instead to learn what's going on from people who know what they're talking about. When asked by Fox News anchorman Brit Hume during an exclusive interview how he gets the news, the president said he glances at the headlines "just to get the kind of flavor for what's moving." But "I rarely read the stories." He gets "briefed by people who have probably read the news themselves." This, he said, has been his practice since taking office. "I have great respect for the media. I mean, our society is a good, solid democracy because of good, solid media. But I also understand that a lot of times there's opinions mixed in with news." (Actually, our republic is not a "democracy," but this appears to be a losing battle.) Bush is obviously familiar with the likes of the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times, where it's hard to determine where the news stops and the opinions begin, even if he has the good sense not to read those biased leftist newspapers. "I appreciate people's opinions, but I'm more interested in news," he told Hume. "And the best way to get the news is from objective sources. And the most objective sources I have are people on my staff who tell me what's happening in the world."
