bush & the media

Why has the media now forgotten how only 2 weeks ago Bush stupidly helped get the new hardline Irani leader elected?

I'm very serious. This is a perfect example of how the media finds a story critical of Bush, then buries it.

Oh, there was a single AP story a few weeks ago. How Bush had mouthed off and helped advance the campaign of the Irani nutjob who's now their new leader. But now that the nutjob actually got the job, and now that it's looking like he may have been one of the leaders of the US Embassy takeover in Tehran 30 years ago, suddenly the media is silent about how Bush helped this nutjob become the leader of Iran in the first place.

This was fairly widely reported when it happened. Now that he has been elected, the media is pretty damn quiet!
