Ari Fleischer apparently believes the government does nothing!

From Slate :

Introducing an ongoing inquiry into dishonest or insane assertions buried inside Ari Fleischer's White House memoir.

In his new book, Taking Heat: The President, the Press, and My Years in the White House, Ari Fleischer, the former White House press secretary, lays out various "biases and predilections" of "the liberal press." Among these is its 'belief that government is a mechanism to solve the nation's problems," its insistence that "emotional examples of suffering … are good ways to illustrate economic statistic stories," and its tendency to stay "fixated on the unemployment rate."

Fleischer might just as well have complained that the press believes the Earth revolves around the sun.

Damn that "liberal media" for expecting the government to do something! What bizarre ramblings! I guess, as usual, there is no real evidence of "liberal media" (since it basically does not exist) so they have to make up something! You would think they would try for something that would make sense though!
