McClellan Tales


Scott McClellan, former White House Press Secretary, is releasing a book on June 2, 2008 that has some insider criticism of the Bush administration's operations. He bashes the administration for not doing more in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and that it was a defining moment in Bush's 2nd [and last] term.

Also telling in his book was how the administration used propaganda and misinformation to get the country to go to war.

There are over 2,600 news articles about McClellan's coming out [according to Google as of 10AM].

Here is a collection of the MSM articles plus a few choice articles too:
ABC
CBS
CNN
FOX
Guardian

It is really amazing how fast news travels nowadays and how much power "blogs" have. It started on Politico then onto blogs that are affiliated with bigger news sites then by the morning of the next day, all the MSM sites have articles and video of news. Notice the timestamps of each site. They are actually in order as listed here. CNN did a sneaky job of beating other MSM sites to the main political pages by uploading everything at 2:30 AM EDT. By 10:30AM, it has reached the political blog within The Guardian, a British publication.

Great job Mike Allen [Politico].
