continuing to blame Clinton for bush's mistakes
AP, NBC repeated Bush's claim that Clinton's North Korea policy "didn't work," ignored that it halted plutonium production
(Media Matters)Summary: The AP's Terence Hunt and NBC News' David Gregory both reported President Bush's "veiled swipe" at the Clinton administration's North Korea policy, in which Bush said, "I appreciate the efforts of previous administrations. It just didn't work." But neither noted that, following the Clinton administration's signing of the 1994 Agreed Framework with North Korea, that country did not produce any plutonium until 2002, when the Bush administration abandoned the agreement.
